They say someone starves to death every 4 seconds of the day/
Yet we'll spend thousands on a watch to watch those seconds tick away/
Our focus is on material and how we can exploit it/
But at the same time make sure a guilty conscience is avoided/
See the money is nice man, but first come the facts/
Fuck 50, I got, Kweli bumpin my tracks/
So you can have a faster car, but it's really no benefit/
Cuz my mind is already light years ahead of it/
So believe me when I say, that we need more Changes/
than a Tupac song, man, we need to rearrange this../
mentality of reality, we need a new perspective/
Teach kids they need more than a salary to be respected/
Or more spiritual fatalities can be expected/
A chronic illness we dismiss as allergies, see in essence../
it's the Truth that we missin, don't get confused with religion/
This shit don't matter if you Catholic, Buddhist or Christian/
We was all blessed remarkably, which is coo' but jus listen../
it's when you take that for granted and start abusin' the priveledge/
That's when selfishness sneaks up with a brand new gat/
And puts 21 from the 22 right to ya back/
And ya won't even feel it, cuz the pain is made numb/
By all these oceans and lakes that allow us to play dumb/
But just cuz the 3rd world may not exist where we stay/
That's no excuse for lettin' thousands die there every day/
So we can drop 40 on another luxury car/
How can we accept so easy.....when so many have it so hard?/
