Don't Destruct Our Future

What's up y'all I wrote this to inspire world peace, I was inspired to write this after hearing "Can't Think" by LL Cool J
"Don't Destruct Our Future"
Written By Big Ted In September 2001
Dedicated Forever to the Victims Of 9*11*01

Verse One:
They say that rappers don't have a heart
And that we ain't that smart
But like anyone else, I do have a heart
However, those terroists don't have a heart
'Cause they tore the World Trade Center apart
I ain't trying to point the blame
Or say any names
But killing innocent lives ain't a game
That kind of destruction is very lame
We need to do something before it's too late
By making sure these cold hearts get locked away
'Cause we can't let our lives turn into vein
Or lock up our hearts and hate
We can't turn around and act the same
Or else we'll just bring more pain
'Cause it'll kill innocent lives
It'll kill innocent husbands and wives
And innocent mothers and childs
There ain't a need to act wild
You'll act worse than the cold hater
You need to prove that you can act more greater
And make your point straighter
By not lettin' this blow up your mind to tiny craters

Chorus:
Why Do We Have To Destruct Our Future?
Why Do We Have To Destruct Our Future?
Yo, it doesn't make sense
We Need To Save Our Future
We Need To Save Our Future
To bring us all happiness
Remember Don't Destruct Our Future
Don't Destruct Our Future
'Cause destructing ain't the way to invest

Verse Two:
Yo, I ain't just talking about America
I'm talking about all areas
We need to save all races
We need to save all ages
That's why we built the United Nations
So we can build a worldwide foundation
And not let guilt turn into discrimination
As well as turnin' hate into a distant seperation
We should learn to love no matter what confrontation
Loving one another should be everyone's occupation
No matter if you're a lawyer or a street thug
You should not avoid showing love
Words of encouragement will get you above
When you're feeling hurt and shoved
Like I said if we get better
'Cause if we still have hope in this world
We could unite and let realness unfurl
With good vibes around the world
Uniting with all the homeboys and homegirls
Igniting y'all for the future homeboys and homegirls
Yo, if all the denet people go on the same team
Hating would go in defeat
That's why as humans we should not worry about dignity
So this world could be decent the way it should be
[Repeat Chorus]

Hook :
You gotta think yo
You gotta think
You gotta think yo
You gotta think
You gotta think yo
You gotta think before you destruct!
You gotta think before you destruct!

Verse Three:
Killing ain't ever real
You shouldn't do it no matter how you feel
'Cause destruction ain't the way to reveal
That's part of the Ten Commandments: “Thou shall not kill”
This world's already too ill
That's why we shouldn't just kill
Yo, you gotta help us God
This world needs you a lot
The ozone layer's startin' to rot
And it seems that knowledge's somethin' that
Some human's don't got
'Cause they kill other people and act like cannibals
And they have less sense than animals
It's like what's said in the Bible: man will kill man
And I know it ain't in God's plan
'Cause he means that knuckleheads will kill each other 'cause they can't comprehend
That's why it's important for us to hold dignity and withstand
And not let knucklehead terrorists destroy our plans
We can't let them just conquer
And turn our lives to somber
It's our time now
To break barreiers and show them haters how we get down

Itz pretty good T. As far as concept and idea. It'z cool. But I think maybe U used some words a bit too much 2 close. Like Heart in the 1st and kill in the 3rd. Plus U were kinda contradicting ya self wit "dignity". In the end of the 2nd verse, u say we shouldn't worry about dignity, then U say we should hold dignity. Or did I read into it wrong (just in case).

But other than that, I think it'z cool. It'z probably help I've I heard the audio. Think it'd make a lil better difference in what I think of the song. Nice read T.

Yo in the 2nd verse it was a typo, I meant "as humans we should worry about dignity", i was tired when i typed it i guess, 'cause it originally said in my notebook:"as humans we should worry about dignity". As far as lyrical skills this ain't my best but it has a strong message to it though, so that's what makes this song powerful! :werd:

As Andre 3000 of Outkast says "Stank You Very Much" :kekeke: for the comments y'all. As I look over the song I see how much my skills has grown over the last 3 years but the foundation of the song is strong and the little adjustments I could make won't be the concrete of it 'cause these were my thoughts back then and they still exist now about what happened that day. I'm glad that I could share it wit y'all.

I was digging up some old computer files and I found this little rap I wrote on 9/12/03....its short but tells the story up to this day...

----------
you caused the stress,
which caused this big mess
and it affected us, the US
you caused us grief
and disbelief
what you trying to prove?
whatever it is we fully disapprove
when i think of Iraq
i think of a pack
of gays
with their evil ways
you bringin the terror
but you just made a fatal error
so tough with your suicide bombas
please, ive seen a better fight between llamas
threatening us with your bomb
but we remain calm
osama is hiding in a cave
he might as well shave
and dig up his own damn grave
9/11 we'll never forget
and now we're making you regret
that you ever did that
we're trying to rebuild
but people still gettin killed
when will the fighting cease
and we can finally have peace
but same killings everyday
we continue to pray
but the clouds are still grey
