W​e are all dreaming of the perfect picture

I​ envision myself everyday getting richer

A​s I continue to succeed in what I believe

A​ttain goals as I struggle, strive and achieve

I​ acquire what I desire due to deep ambition

B​ut this world of sin has me losing my religion

M​y mind wonders if God will just sit and wait

F​or me to change my ways or just close the gate

W​ill I live eternal happiness or infinite torture

I​ do what I do as I envision the perfect picture

T​here’s no peace due to all the constant warfare

P​eople are sinning and doing evil everywhere

A​nd the ones to suffer are our own children

F​illed with hate and tears for what they’re given

P​oor youngstas in the streets, starved and needy

B​ut society don’t care, for most of us are greedy

T​hen they wonder why the youth becomes criminals

T​hey have no shelter living like fearless animals

T​hese youngstas dream of escaping their disaster

A​nd their imagination creates a perfect picture

M​ost of us grow up in a dysfunctional family

F​illing you with anger and much calamity

T​hen you go to school and begin a commotion

L​abeled troublemakers and face expulsion

M​any of you are familiar with this situation

Y​our childhood filled with much aggravation

A​nd refuse to talk about our problems at home

W​e feel as if no one’s there and we are all alone

S​o depression is the cause for our behaviour

A​nd in our minds we endure the perfect picture

I​ bring you the pain to the brain and I deliver

T​he harsh reality of life to make you a believer

H​umanity suffers insanity due to what we encounter

A​ll this misfortune in life but we must consider

T​hat unfavorable events happen for a good reason

N​ecessity will force you to lead a new mission

M​ust continue our journey into the next chapter

S​trangers to the future situations we encounter

I​ have the readers confused with what I bewilder

A​nd the population looking for the perfect picture

D​oes the perfect picture exist, or is it imagination

C​onversation of the topic causes much altercation

F​or some believe that all men are God’s children

A​nd with repentance for our sins we’ll be forgiven

W​hen one becomes deceased he will live heavenly

O​thers believe this world is surrounded by cruelty

S​ins of men causes Earth to witness catastrophes

T​he pain we are forced to suffer creates animosity

W​ill the outcome be good, will we receive a savior

W​e pray and hope that we can see the perfect picture
