(soon to be peformed at a venue near you)

Nowadays the shackles of bondage are imperceptible
Embedded in the chambers of conscience
Gradually penetrating the inseparable
Mind, spirit, body and soul
Streams of melodies seamlessly
Travel the airwaves and load
Megabites of information
That corrupt your hardrive
Making you think you’re a
G, thug, beauty queen or that you’re barely alive
And it’s infiltrating everyone’s system
Need to be injected with that so called truth serum
Viruses uploaded, you don’t know it
Constantly siphoning your identity
With every encounter, you’re devoured and become a different being

Brainwashed by its seductive and soothing caress
Oppositional defiance a direct result
Of being held under duress
Because if it were a cop
You’d be imprisoned by its words
Never to escape it
In constant contact, like germs
And the only sanitizer is to embrace the positive kind
Music hits the soul, so you gotta peep the vibe

Because it will have you in instant transition
Happy at one moment,
The second…realizing what your missing
Ever listened
to a love song to put you in the mood
Amp up the volume of demolition lyrics
To make sure you’re fueled?

Try playing a sad love song
You’ll immediately reminisce the frustration
Caused by your significant other
Or if you’re single,
Fantasize a situation

And all you have to do
Is touch that dial,
or change your Cd to hear what you wish he’d say to you

(sings)
“It started when we were younger you were my….
My booooooo….”
Loved………… you, feel warm and cozy inside
Until you hear these lines

(Sings)
“You look so dumb right now, standing outside my house
Trying to apologize
You’re so ugly when you cry
Puhlease just cut it out”

And that’s when things go south
You just get deranged and start thinking about

Sings

"I bust the windows out your car
Know that I did it cause my broken heart"

Next thing you know your angry
Maybe, just maybe that’s why your safety is impaired

Especially if you’re a dude
And all you do is swear….

Sings
"You can’t man em then you mop em
You can’t stand them
Then you drop em
Cause we pop em like a Orville redenbacher
Mother---"

What?
Maybe that’s why you got relational problems
And we got babies without fathers
And mothers who harbor resentment
Insecure with low self-esteem
And kids who are inches…..
Away from the slammer
Better get on your knees
And just pray to make it today
Like MC hammer

Cause music is corrupting
And un-tucking us from our prepared
Beds of freedom
Cursing God in various lines of genre
Talking bout how we don’t need Him

But the enemy
Finds the inner me
Through the energy of a beat
Comprised and put together by those who
Expunge their heartfelt emotions
Onto loose leaf
As we repeat
the words
The words
The words
Ya heard….
Ya heard
Ya heard

Ya heard
Ya heard
Ya heard
The words
The words
The words

See….
All I had to do was put it in a jingle
Now you’ll have it stuck in your brain
On the train singing this
Lethal
Dose of gibberish
Since it had a catchy tune
Some of you argue the point
Music has no impact
Ya’ll just hot air balloons….

Don’t assume
You can’t be motivated by lyrics
If that’s the case
Why do people want to hear it?

Won’t you play Lil’ Wayne or use his lyrics
As a hymnal
Romance your spouse
With “I hate you so much right now”
And try to re-kindle
An ounce of relationship
You were trying to bring back to life

Or

Maybe they should play the slow version
Of amazing grace at a wedding
Take away all the sound
Off the reels and movie settings

Cause music doesn’t impact

We can see tv without sound
Just be intrigued by words coming out mouths
I beg to differ
Unlike you
I won’t live in denial

How bout
You re-shelve your cds, mp3s and cases
See if your life takes a positive turn
When you start erasing
Negativity and lust from your going through
Your auditory sense
Maybe you be less inclined
To pop a nine or raise up your fist

(sings) Cause music makes the world go round
Try adding to it a positive sound

And see the difference
