Love in the World

Sweet Life

1:38 PM

I got the money and the power

Owning twenty two towers

With eighty showers

I got too many cars

With thousands of gold bars

Sterling silver jewelry

In the basement there's a brewery

Drink as much as you want to

Shot glasses 20 dollars for two

You can do what you want to do

The maids will clean up after you

Wish we could switch places to tell you the truth

This life may seem sweet

Because everything is done for me

I get everything I ask for

Only struggle I've had is answering the right door

So I don't know how it feels

I wish I could

Tell me your stories

Of your struggles if you would

I would like to hear them

Every word will be heard

Through my ears

In my brain in here

Help cherish what I have

And I'll share it with you

Help me understand what a true struggle is

Let me learn the truth of the real world

Outside these tower walls

Where no one knows or cares who I am royally

But just the person who is the real me

Behind the money

Behind the towers

Behind the power

The person beneath

Someone who is just like you

Who thinks as you do

Who has secrets

Who has flaws

Who has made mistakes

Who has been upset

Who has been mad

Who has cried real tears

Who has been afraid of something

Who has experienced some type of pain

Who loves

Who strongly disliked something or someone

Who had to live up to someone's expectations

Who hides who they really are

Who is not perfect but still only human

It may seem as if we're different

But we really aren't

We are very much like each other

We're just burn on different sides of society

Don't believe society

Because they're just jealous

Jealous of us

Those who know we're all just like each other

Because we see pass society's disorder

And when we stand together

We can change the world

Just one step at a time

With the combination of a trillion minds

Including yours and mine

Change the world for the better

As our group gets bigger and bigger

Always remember

We're all the same

No matter where you are

Or where your from

Or what side of society you were born on

It's just about time to stand and become one

Yo stand united

And fight it

Society's walls of disorder

So this war against each other

Can be over

And everyone can become a lover

Of the world they live in

Which is one where everyone wins
