Story behind the song

my frustration with life was my motivation.the voice on the chorus is my wife

Lyrics

How can we live in a world where
Everyone is giving in

Time is All we have don?t waste it
Love is in our presence why are we afraid to face it
All we need is balance   
Life is nothing but a race
Eventually catchin up with you
if you don?t keep up the pace

everywhere  a sign of displacement
in the way we?re livin     many faces show disgrace
this to me    isn?t just a hate in races
rather hate within ourselves
so we chose to live in hell

I?m speakin to the masses
how is it our memory or thought
could kick our asses
dare to hear the truth   take a byte
try to grasp this   I don?t wanna mask this
no one likes to crash   it?s disastrous  

yet we pass it off 
as some temporary sadness
misery is blackness    
pain within our heart    caused by thoughts 
from our past            is exactly why this happens
how can we have this  
I know we can get past this

you think it?s true   thru all of evolution
every moment  searching for solutions
that humans beings haven?t even
simplified the truth yet    but,we?ve been to the moon
did you except the world is doomed

if you did then you?re wrong
I prove it all day long   stayin strong
addin verses to my song
I?m feelin this for everyone
the way we?re livin?s wrong
always in seclusion
time for us to get along

How can we live in a world where
Everyone is giving in
To their fears 
Every moment     Is a new chance to begin     






I?m turning the alarm on
cuz I?m guilty too
Of causing other people harm
did?nt mean to do it    but,I did
Not knowing it was due to
My misguidance as a kid
Now I?ve grown to see the truth

Are only hope is reaching out
And,teaching to the youth
Give?em ground to stand on
happiness to land on
Let?em know they?re not alone
Who will they depend on
Spitting out my plan
Is the mission that I?m on

Meanwhile lungs strong
hittin my bong
it?s a good thing I was blessed
with this gift of intuitiveness
I never would have guessed
That I would ever end up doin this
After livin life with clenched fists
Always feelin pissed
Knowin love is what I missed
Livin often with the thought of
slashin my wrists
I?m Voicing my opinion 
Hoping that the message
That I?m sendin isn?t gettin missed
Is anybody feelin this



How can we live in a world where
Everyone is giving in
To their fears 
Every moment 
Is a new chance to begin      



and now alittle session of aggression
for anyone who trys to slow me down
or plans on messin up my lesson
my current situation?s always causin me stress
it?s a goddamn mission
just for me to get dressed
I?m paralyzed      chest down
still feelin blessed
writing lyrics with precision
always faced with a test
so back off    I only ride with the best
if not beside me
in front of you 
is the only place you?ll find me
ain?t getting left behind 
with a lost mind   walkin round blind
wishin i could rewind life
to a better time


yeah   I struggle with my pants
but,ain?t no way I?m missin any chance
to advance


Will we ever grasp   this fact?s    so drastic
Picture being toe-tagged
Wrapped inside of plastic
Everytime I view this   I?m reaching for a matchstick
Sparkin up some weed     
Just To keep from going spaztic




How can we live in a world where
Everyone is giving in
To their fears 
Every moment Is a new chance to begin
