Where I'm from

So let me tell you where I'm from
I'm from a place that shines bright like the sun

Driving down the street
Nothing but tweaking, drinking
Passed out is what people see
So much negativity, toxicity
As the city neglecting the help people need
Such nonsense, keep the people in captivity
While profiting off misery
It's a sick game
To stick blame
Be the victim
And skip change
Live in shame
And why exclaim
To be insane?
Oppression, suppressing
Molestin' the minds of all
It's disgusting how there's no connection
Only division, depression
All this aggression
And what happened to some love being the expression?

Let me show you where I'm from
I'm from, I'm from a place called home
(Home)
Where I'm From
Welcome Home
Let me show you where I'm from
I'm from, I'm from a place called home
(Home)
A place called home
Welcome Home

You see, I am from a planet called Earth
Where war is glorified
Burying peace in the dirt
I guess that explains why people get treated like dirt
And left dirt poor
I'm from where people slave away
For money and end up being burnt
And really what for?
Although, if people truly wanted to they could emerge
And unearth a new Earth
A rebirth of an awareness to purge
What no longer serves
And learn what it means to let the truth preserve
Cuz people on this planet
Have shown a pattern
That when it comes to true peace they can't stand it
They runaway and abandon
But that's alright because as of right now
The world is waking up to the challenge
So let us balance
This thing called life and undo the damage
That's been caused by an attachment
To zero compassion
So grab the match kid
And let their hearts blaze with passion

Let me show you where I'm from
I'm from, I'm from a place called home
(Home)
Where I'm From
Welcome Home
Let me show you where I'm from
I'm from, I'm from a place called home
(Home)
A place called home
Welcome Home

Life man
It ain't meant to be lived this way

I live in a country where they say support the troops
Yet you got vets living out of their boots and cut loose
Setting up booths in front of a store
Just get money for food
Yeah, how's that for support?
So let me tell you where I'm really from
I'm from a place that shines bright
Yeah just like the sun
And like the son
Gotta be a light
And escape this prison
Fulfill my mission
To be free of this system
This is your world whatcha gonna do?
It's a small world where you running to?
Listen real quick, what I'm about to say
In this world isn't something I'm aloud to say
But guess what? What?
I don't give a fuck
So the truth is
The world you live in ain't what you think it is
Ain't what you think it is
You're living in a dream
Living in a dream
Living in a world run by hatred and greed
Oh brother, oh sister look past the screen
Don't you see behind it is a world you've yet to see?
Is a world you've yet to see
And once you see past the scheme
Peace will be seen

Let me show you where I'm from
I'm from, I'm from a place called home
(Home)
Where I'm From
Welcome Home
Let me show you where I'm from
I'm from, I'm from a place called home
(Home)
A place called home
Welcome Home
