Humans are Bigger than they're suppose to Be.

An excerp from a beautifully written song. i keep this part around me all the time, and i like speaking it to others and try to enlighten them. haha. the underground hip hop artists Zion i and the Grouch just say what i've always wanted to say to the people in my generation. And i just want to thank them. [:

Bad Lands by Zion i and The Grouch
..[BadLands]This is a place where babies are hooked on drugs
Before they see the light of day
A land where doctors'll necessarily cut them out their mothers' stomachs
Just to make more pay
Their fathers run away
Consumed with the most ignorant shit you can think of
Cuz it's been dangled in front their faces like a carrot to an ass
But still they know better, they're just too scared to be outcasts
It ain't about past; let's talk present and future
Fuck presidents, what do you do with your power, your control?
Control yourself
Going dumb's not really a movement, you're really going dumb
Look at the shit they play on the radio
And got the nerve to wonder why rappers keep dying in the streets
Stop putting 2pac and Biggie on magazines until you understand the significance of why they died
Don't ya'll get it? Humans are bigger than they're supposed to be
Check yourself before you come out the house holdin' a piece,
Runnin' off at the mouth, sayin' trendy shit like “yes sir” and “ye ye”
Like it's the only thing you know
Yea, that shit is fun but don't let it be the only thing you know
Ultimately, it won't get you anywhere and trying to get out of here
Leave these bad lands behind, get in touch with my spirit, my body, and mind
Cuz I'm divine
And if no one ever told you you were, well you are

And that's it.

  1. Of course, I don't get it. What point am I missing? I the piont of this to tell us that we are powerful people stuck in a trendy world?

  2. the point, is to be yourself. dont go to those bad places, dont let people influence who you are or who you've always wanted to be. this is ment to make adolescents stronger, not only in a trendy world, but a influencial world where you loose yourself. to be straight, just dont loose yourself and learn things rather than be an ignorant person.
