Perspective, Perspective, Perspective.
Life is all about perspective.
Life is not what you make it,
Life is how you view it.
But how you view it is based on family history.
Yeah, like the roots of a tree.
It’s where you come from; it’s who you be.
And it dictates how this life you see.
For example,
I’m white, I’m wealthy,
and I’m fairly healthy.
I’m showered with blessings from above
for I have all I need and no lack thereof.
Therefore I view life without restrictions
of the stereotypes that hold so many convicted.
These stereotypes govern our jurisdiction
hold the power of eviction
but have so many contradictions.
Yet, I am free because of my Savior’s crucifixion.
I’m so thankful and I try not
to take for granted things I have or the things I bought.
My view for life was once askew
due to my belief.
But my mind has become brand new
when Jesus stole my heart like a thief.
He showed me how some others live and it made me blue.
It came as a relief
when I had a breakthrough,
realizing that though I’m not Commander in Chief
I can help change this world’s view.
I can share the truth
even in my youth.
Show and Create a new reality (one) in which people see actuality.
One where we don’t just stand aside,
we do more than abide.
We actually live,
we strive
to make people thrive
and do more than survive,
to be revived and truly come alive.
All people,
regardless of what they view the right life to be.
Though there are certain wrongs,
especially since everyone longs
for a place to belong
and will just go along,
instead of standing up for what is right.
So now our world is in a constant fight,
with people bluntly stating outright,
what they think is right in their sight.
But I hate moral relativity
because it places humanity in captivity.
And I am appalled at our insensitivity,
how we treat each other with selectivity.
Aren’t we all equal?
Aren’t we all equal??!!!!
Then how can we treat stars so great
and yet throw down others
as if we could dictate
who is hot and who is not.
I look at people and I don’t see what
humans call beauty or humans call ugly.
I just see people.
God makes Masterpieces,
not failures.
and He made You.
My Father, he don’t make mistakes.
but even if he did,
His mistakes could be called perfection.
So take a look at your complexion which is of His reflection.
and don’t care about human rejection.
I am loved by Christ and I feel his affection
so I live for Him because of the resurrection.
With Jesus, make a connection, and
His love will fill you like an infection
Give your life direction.
Give you freedom
from the judgments of this world’s kingdom.
Trust me, Worship Him and know no idols
not money, glamour, nor fame
and then you will live without shame.
Life won’t be lame
‘cause your eyes will be on the prize heaven above
where you can find true love.
Now here my rap will end soon
but I want y’all to know that just like a brand new moon
your life can be swiped clean,
and though I’m just a teen
I swear I speak the truth.
Though my speech
may not be as great as those of Abe Lincoln,
I hope I got you thinkin’
