IMAKEMADBEATS - Perspective lyrics

[Verse 1 - Blueprint] Ten girls stabbed on a college campus Twenty school-kids gunned down in Sandy Hook A black teenager is murdered over skin color It feel like the chaos is everywhere you look Thirty afghans k**ed at a family wedding Sixty Iraqi k**ed trying to vote A woman gets gang-raped down in India Five kids' lifes get ended by a drone I don't care if you living in a high-rise You're no different from a man in a hut Every single life is sacred in God's eyes You ain't worth more cause you got more stuff I don't care what the color of your skin is I don't care 'bout your fortune and fame I just want for us to have more perspective And understand that everybody's pain is the same Perspective Bird's eye view It's beautiful up here [Verse 2 - Blueprint] Understanding and empathy for all others Appreciation as a have for the have-not's Recognizing people's worth is decided By the content of character and not what they got I get upset cause it seem so hard for us When we lie to ourselves we sound so crazy We tell ourselves that they don't work as hard as us They could be like us if they just weren't lazy I think it's just an excuse That allow us to treat them as less human Cause once we begin to take it as the truth It justifies all the evil things that we do to them Some people work hard and barely scrape by Others work hard and end up rich It doesn't mean you shouldn't celebrate success But understand the systematic hurdles that exist Perspective Bird's eye view It's beautiful up here, might shed a tear [Verse 3 - Blueprint] A man with no shoes stands on a corner Sad about his circumstance and being on the street Then realized that it wasn't that bad When he was joined by another man that had no feet A woman makes a post on facebook About how she and her brother got beef Unaware it was read by a friend of her's Whose own brother pa**ed away just last week Boston gets hit by a dirty bomb A hundred people injured, three people died Rare for us but for many that's the norm The daily threat of an attack is part of their lives I ain't sayin' what we feel ain't real But understand just what it means to be privileged That's when you ignore the circumstances of those Less fortunate than you, that you don't have to live in Perspective Bird's eye view It's beautiful up here, might shed a tear
