Mayhem
(DJ Mockstar, Mike Curtis)

Mayhem
Am I the cause or the solution
Look inside begin a spiritual evolution
Revolution, starts with the change of one mind
The first mind I have to change is mine

I gotta run up, get up, act up, what's up, fuck up
Step up, change up my mind and gotta grow up
My thoughts inside my head makes me wanna blow up
Turn these new thoughts into actions and straight up show up

I gotta run out, get out, act out, scream out, shout out
Step out, out into the streets, not gonna bow out
My whole life I didn't want this side of me to come out
Actin' hard, pushin' back, always one to show out

But there's mayhem on our streets, no voice for the voiceless
Political babble on TV is fuckin' pointless
March side by we gotta get shit goin'
Change the direction that the mayhem is flowin'

Fuck team Edward and fuck team Jacob
This is bad luck gutter punk tryin' to make a come up
We gotta get away from, this life of crime
We worry too much about a dime

They don't give a shit about sisters and brothers,
And they take every cent from fathers and mothers
Stack our paper up, 4 blocks tall
No gap high score Tetris it all

This dangerous way of livin' is gonna do us in
To make it out the hood fuckin' counts as a win
So say goodbye to the hookers and blow
The skanks and snow, the powder and hoes

And maybe one day we'll leave it all behind
Until that happens I'm gonna try
To man up get tough stay strong no wrongs
Don't whine get mine keep calm and carry on

Verse 3 back to me, make a decision
Do I live the life I have or change the world that we live in
I can do nothin', and just sit on my ass
Or realize that we're all divided by class

I know that I was born middle class and I'm white
And I had some things easy goin' for me in life
But what if I was born to some poor, black parents?
Be discriminated against, cuz of my appearance.

god forbid I was born in a middle east land
If I'd been caught stealin' they'd take off my hand
Or born in Africa in a drought ridden nation
No water, no food, on the brink of starvation

My race, my religion, my nation, my creed
My intolerance, my negligence, my waste, and my greed
All comes from the fact that I was born who I am
So lets kill all the isms and end this fuckin' mayhem!
