Distention

Can you feel it?
Can you *feel* it?

Can you feel the rough edge of the blade he can barely wield
The drug user shooting up using glazed eyes as a shield can you
Feel the pressure the girl has to succeed can you
Feel the pain that she keeps trying to bleed?
Can you hold up his hopes while the man tries to hold him down
Can you tell him he's good enough to make it out of this town?
Tell her momma to knock off the stupid comments
She's beautiful the way she is, hell she can jump in my bed!

Can you
Get your nephew off his a** watching late night porn on Starz?
Point outside to the sky and tell him "there's where the stars are!
Study them, inspire them, use em as a tool
One day if you got it you can go to the moon
don't let nothin stop you, especially not this couch
so turn off the ******** TV and get out of the house!"
Can you feel it?

The minds expand the kids grow
growing out of the gangsta phase that's all for show
The drugs, the girls, the money, the weed
The things they all want but no one needs
Take a breath of fresh air and use that to get high
you got the whole world around you to help you get by
So drop that knife don't act a fool
Get your head out of your a** and go to school
Learn about the greats and aspire to get out of here
don't let your mind be consumed by the hate and the fear
You're bigger than this life, your bigger than this block
Go show your friends you don't need a ******** glock
You've got your mind BACK
bout damn time.


Bet they never heard that before.


Can you feel it?
