• M-m-m-mayday, mayday,
    Sirens erupt in your brain.
    I'm gonna blast my words through you,
    Slap your face, open your eyes for you,
    I'll shake you, but I won't break you,
    I need to feed you a dose of the truth.

    Wake up and activate your senses, that's a good start,
    Don't listen with your ears, listen with your heart,
    Gotta hear my soul scream,
    Gotta understand my dream,
    That there is something to believe in,
    And I still have faith in you,
    Despite all you put me through.
    And I just want you to know,
    It just goes to show,
    Being strong is casting aside the past,
    Absorbing these words' blast,
    And show compassion for a stranger,
    Because I want my kids to live in a world of no danger.
    You hear me? No knife fights, no gunshots,
    Speak of no evil and evil will be forgot.
    You feel these words tearing up your heart?
    Let me see the light penetrate the dark,
    Because you no longer belong to the shadows,
    Where being strong was laughing at all those weak,
    Talking when there's nothing worthy to speak,
    Because apparently there is no such thing as something to believe in,
    And I put my faith in you,
    Regardless of what you put me through;
    Hiding from the words I blast at you,
    You keep your eyes shut when I try to open them for you,
    You are scared that I will break you,
    But you need to hear what you never knew,
    Even though you don't know just what it will do.
    Hatred kills, but ignorance destroys us the most.
