Pretend they’re invisible

We pretend that its not happening cause its over seas
People dieing in bomb fires about 1,000 degrees
While in the land of the free and the home of the brave
Another child was forced into the life of being a sex slave

There are 6,000 children now the victims of AIDS
In other countries women are raped while the killers they raid
The mother land is crying out but we don’t know what to do
I guess we’re caught up in our cars and shopping for hot shoes
We’re so numb to killin, only caring about celebrity craze
While people die… Janet Jackson’s breasts made front page

We obtain so many things but its still not enough
We’re to busy asking God to give us more stuff
The world’s backyard is dirty
You don’t care… it an’t yours
The hungry open their mouths
but homeless shelters are closin their doors

And when we die we want the whole world to mourn for us
But when it’s others who lose life does it even affect us?

What happen to feed the hungry?
Help the people in need?
Clothe the naked?
But were plagued by consumption and greed

We say we from the ghetto and we got nothing good
Ask other countries and they’ll show you whats really hood.
Come to your home, take your treasures and rape your wife
Cut your arms off and take your first-born’s life
Is that too graphic for ya?
Are my lyrics to hard?
What about a child dismembered and permanently scared?

What if you drowned in hunger tears and death took you?
And the human race just looked away and left you?
