Is man basically evil, or basically good
I'd say neiher .....
I'd say the whole human race is basically misunerstood!
Yes misunderstood is what we all are
and society is the whip thats left us all with at least one unhealing scar

like the young girl sold into sex slavery
bought in by "love",......really pimpery
he drives her around in his brand new Caddie
he drops her on the corner for sale, and sadly,
she doesnt refuse, instead just says "se ya daddy"
her "store owner" seems nice, " and angel from above"
but really her minds blinded..... she doesnt know rel love
but we sit and we judge
and from our seats we wont budge
to send help for a girl whose empty heart cries
we sit and we speculate, looking at her in despise
if you took time to care, and anyonecould
youd see that she i juust misunderstood

And like the young boys growing up i the "hood"
they tell him hell never make it, but they wish they could
although his brother is his only family
out sellin' dope so they could try to live happily
but they go through life living fearful and scared
there all alone and wish they had someone who cared
everyone looks at them as just another rough boy
but all he feels like is a worn out toy
alone and forgtten, so he passionatley cries
but we sit and we stare..... no mercy in our eyes
not everyone knows how it is in the "hood"
so wouldnt you say they were just misunderstood

So You see my point here
if only we cared for one another
or even took time to help out our fellow brother
we need not to judge one anther
instead take time to understand each other, cause you wouldnt want to be the one being judged
beacuse you easily could
be the next one misunderstood
