As Music Evolved

There was once more war on the streets than there was in the Middle East.
We dropped bars instead of bodies.
They once called rapping only a hobby, but it became part of our everyday society.
Time passes, there is a change in our everyday classes, the kid in the corner with glasses is ready to let his voice be heard.
Once hid behind his self built wall of emotions that he didn’t understand, in a crowded classroom in he hated to stand.

As music Evolved so did society.
We created new genres but at the same time created new drama
There was once a time where music changed our mind, but now it's like we have people who try to be like a viper acting like they are going to become the next American Sniper, crushing the lines between reality and fantasy smashing the dreams that only our eyes can see. Spreading more hate on the people they use to date, it was once about lost and love but now it's about "look what I have, look what I can do" We'll guess what I'm different too.

As music Evolved so did our ideology.
Music lives on there is no expiration date, the 70's 80's 90's it's never too late to relive that time where all problems can be solved with a simple rhyme.
No more of this talk about guns and drugs let's go back to where it was about love and hugs.
Music saves lives, it expresses the emotions that we can't say in words so the notes say it for us.
Don't change it so it could hurt us.
The note might be sharp but it was never meant to cut any of us.

As music Evolved so did our dreams.
Millions of people listen to one voice, one mind, one soul.
A soul that cries to be heard, by those who are willing to help, willing to reach out and pull them to safety.
We dream to reach to greater heights the sound of our soul lifts us higher than lights.
Dreams that others will try to stop, try to make them just pop.
Because you are different, difficult, devine, doubtful at times, but you are you and if you don't want to listen to them put on your headphones and be you. Music is something you listen to but in actuality it listens to you, listens to your heart, to your deepest desires, to your darkest emotions, and Music never shies away from you.

As music Evolved so did the world around us.
New artist shooting for the stars.
Stars falling from there once high perch, that I use to listen to before going to church.
We choose what we do next, if may lead to a different path, but unlike math there is no clear answer.
We listen, we speak, we repeat.
With Music we are able to realize that you and I are no different than different flavored pies.
We all cry the same tears, bleed the same color, so why judge us on what we like to hear.
To me, it sounds like jealousy, that they will never understand the connection with other like you or me.

As music Evolved so did I.
I went from a kid from a broken home, where music was only in his dome.
To a kid that sings from his heart so everyone can hear his art.
No one knowing how'd he start but he knows how he is going to finish.
Shoot for the moon even if you fail you still with the Stars.
You can dream of fancy cars and a big house, while you lay down hearing the noise of a small mouse, but I love what I got.
My food is always hot, with the words I got I'm here to change the whole lot.
Just like music I Evolved too, but it's my time to change society, everyone's ideology, just make some noise so my voice can be heard too.
Because I do whatever I set my heart out to do.
