Josh MIRK - For A Reason lyrics

[Verse 1-JPlus] Now we live in a nation Where everybody hates waiting This whole generation's impatient For things that we want in this world we're erasing And sit back and wait for somebody to change it And all I hear is more they than us More hate than love There's no faith and trust More lies than truths They treat me like a criminal When the real bad guys are disguised in suits That's why I feel like the end is near Mr. President no wonder we're filled with fear Cause we're raised in a place You can actually die for your country before you can drink a beer That's the reason that I speak to my peers Convey my thoughts And picked up where 2Pac and MLK left off Until the day that you erase me off the face of this earth And the ones that I educate will take the torch, of course [Hook – Jackie Casas] Some days I wonder just when will they ever learn That even if you stand still this world is gonna turn Cause there's no way to turn back time Nobody can change a season One thing I'm sure of is everything happens for a reason [Verse 2 – Jplus] Now society has been messed up for awhile But the government will just cover it up with a smile What happened to the days when we used to have problems We'd boycott, protest, take it to trial See now we got this backwards logic We just wanna buy or sell the hottest thing on the market These people don't even know who's their congressman in office But they know about the latest gossip Like who got shot last And who got locked up Cause we don't really give a damn as long as it's not us You ask me, we need to stop worrying about all this nonsense And think about making some progress So now who really cares When you make it to the gates You think god's gonna judge you by what you wear? He don't care if you're flat broke or a millionaire If you try while you're here He can feel your prayers, so yeah [Verse 3 – Jplus] Now I can preach all I want But the fact remains That everybody still acts the same We don't wanna be attacked and blamed But we're all a little guilty Of not being able to adapt to change We got problems to focus on But everyone's just like “Oh pshaw, that's what Oprah's for.” And between global warming and global war I'm wondering how everybody feels so secure And it's hard when you can't stand out And you gotta say to yourself “It's like unspoken law” The thought of peace is so obscure But unless we try There's really no way to know for sure That's why I feel it's my right and privilege To speak for every misfit not spoken for Cause I don't really think it's too late to change So let's make a change before all hope is lost, come on
