Lyrical Analysis of...
Appreciate
- I thought being on my own was tough, living in an apartment in philly
- I used to look out my window in December, and think "Man that shit look
- chilly".
- Then I'd sit back and relax with the remote in my hand and a bowl of
- crack a jacks
- But I never realized the lives on the outside of my door, begging for a comfy
- bed, not the floor.
- You see, what we have we take for granted in our lives.
- A home, a car, a husband, a wife.
- There are people on the street begging for another chance at life.
- But we walk on by don't even look them in the eye.
- They are people too, you ain't nothing better.
- They once had homes but now they living in shelters.
- What kind of example are we giving to our kids
- When we say "Be kind!"
- But deep inside we don't mean it
- I guarantee if I had a sign saying "Fuck the poor"
- you'd all get in line to
- Kick down my door and lecture me about how that is wrong and to respect
- them.
- But I guarantee if I had a sign saying "Help the poor"
- You wouldn't bat an eye, Change your tune, come near my door.
- Just like the charity workers on the street you ignore
- (Spoken) I once saw a social experiment where a man asked strangers for
- a small piece of their food. They said no. Guess who gave him some food.
- Now, I ain't saying that EVERYBODY does this.
- There is a small amount of the public.
- That volunteer and do gods charity work.
- Those are the people that I respect the most.
- Who give up their time to give others hope.
- In a world where there seems to be none.
- After I'm done today you'll all go home
- You may take something from me, you may take none but now, at least
- you'll know how to
- Appreciate.
- Your Iphones, ipads, desktops and imacs, TV's, videogames, Clean
- clothes on your back. Partners and relationships and petty
- shit like netflix, DVD'S, movies and everything in between
- Yeah you have it all.
- Yeah You standing tall.
- But remember those not as lucky that took the fall.
- Please, Please just appreciate.
