Artist: Blueprint Album: Respect The Architect Song: Perspective Typed by: kirenamloh@msn.com [Blueprint] Yeah.. You know... Hah... Ten girls stabbed on the college campus Twenty school kids gunned down in Sandy Hook A black teenager is murdered over skin color It feel like the chaos is everywhere you look Thirty Afghans killed at a family wedding Sixty Iraqi killed tryin to vote A woman gets gang-raped out in India Five kids lives get ended by a drone I don't care if you livin in the high rise You're no different from a man in a hut Every single life is sacred in God's eyes You ain't worth more cause you got more stuff I don't care what the color of your skin is I don't care about your fortune and fame I just want for us to have more perspective and understanding everybody pain is the same Perspective.. Bird's-eye view It's beautiful up here... [Blueprint] Understand in an empathy for all others Appreciation as a have for the have-nots Recognizing people's worth is decided by the content of the character and not what they got I get upset cause it seems so hard for us When we lie to ourselves, we sound so crazy We tell ourselves that they don't work as hard as us They could be like us if they just weren't lazy ..I think it's just an excuse that allows us to treat them as less human Cause once we begin to take it as the truth It justifies all the evil things that we do to 'em Some people work hard and barely scrape by Others work hard and end up rich It doesn't mean you shouldn't celebrate success But understand the systematic hurdles that exists Perspective.. Bird's-eye view Beautiful up here.. Might shed a tear.. [Blueprint] A man with no shoes stands on the corner Sad about his circumstance and bein on the street Then realize that it wasn't that bad when he was joined by another man that had no feet A woman makes a post on Facebook about how she and her brother got beef Unaware it was read by a friend of hers whose own brother passed away just last week Boston gets hit by a dirty bomb A hundred people injured, three people died Rare for us but for many that's the norm The daily threat of an attack is part of their lives I ain't sayin what we feel ain't real But understand just what it means to be privileged That's when you ignore the circumstances of those less fortunate than you, that you don't have to live in Perspective.. Bird's-eye view It's beautiful up here... Might shed a tear...
