The Wrong Message

Got the attention, some sending no message at all
Rappers, sport figures, some not educated in life, are getting caught up in a new game, creating turmoil
Some speaking about issues they know nothing about; caught up in the media that plays on their intelligence, leaving uneducated minds without a way out
Running them through a world that they nothing of; living on the backstreet, their lives are built on what they've seen. but mostly what they have heard
Soaring over the laws, driving around embracing drugs and firearms, only to fall in a well-designed trap, serving its purpose; affecting the mind, doing bodily harm
Finally rappers and others are in a position to turn things around, but platinum and gold have them turned-around, so they miss the big picture, covering no ground
Not realizing a certain power they hold; if they would wake up, skies the limit of the awareness they can unfold
Some, surely not all, building their foundation with money. unaware of the cracks in the wall
Never giving back to where they came from; so society waits, knowing their next move. well aware that money makes fools
They eventually run out of things to do or say, with no beneficial thoughts, they and their following become prey
Out the streets into a castle, some lack the knowledge, some refuse to change
So they act the part from which they came
Money cannot buy intelligence, a known fact
Without common or educational sense, you put yourself in the position to move forward, but in time only to fall on your back
Filling minds with those material dreams, rewarding your listeners with few pleasures, so they find ways to act like you, even taking violence to the extreme
Money going to your head, thinking you're above the law
Giving back what they have given, now all of a sudden you're introduce to the claws
Now the game has turned into that personal rage, for so long blinded, lack of knowledge of the hidden cage
With so much money, getting lost from the truth, materialistic things the only concern, such a false achievement; ignorance is penetrating you
The world is looking at you, changing partners overnight, never calling you that name, but if you weren't that star, minds wouldn't express the same
As stars, people have put them in a different class, but when the flame goes out a life starts to crash
Living in big houses, driving fancy cars, does not make a woman or a man, what's in your heart can't be hidden; God knows where you stand
It's in everyone's best interest you get a clue, and start taking some responsibility for the things you say and do
You are now in the position, given a chance, to send out positive messages, putting confusion in a trance.
The doors have been opened, a sue way to communicate, but stay on the road of self-interest. that prolonged hesitation, the doors will surely rotate.
You can be the influence to be the provider of knowledge, or the divider.
It is time for all who haven't made a statement to change that attitude, that I may be a star but surely no fool.
The choice is up to you, remembering your families live in this world too.
So don't let the income distract you from the outcome, because if it does, what you have created you'll never out run.
