We are all dreaming of the perfect picture
I envision myself everyday getting richer
As I continue to succeed in what I believe
Attain goals as I struggle, strive and achieve
I acquire what I desire due to deep ambition
But this world of sin has me losing my religion
My mind wonders if God will just sit and wait
For me to change my ways or just close the gate
Will I live eternal happiness or infinite torture
I do what I do as I envision the perfect picture
There’s no peace due to all the constant warfare
People are sinning and doing evil everywhere
And the ones to suffer are our own children
Filled with hate and tears for what they’re given
Poor youngstas in the streets, starved and needy
But society don’t care, for most of us are greedy
Then they wonder why the youth becomes criminals
They have no shelter living like fearless animals
These youngstas dream of escaping their disaster
And their imagination creates a perfect picture
Most of us grow up in a dysfunctional family
Filling you with anger and much calamity
Then you go to school and begin a commotion
Labeled troublemakers and face expulsion
Many of you are familiar with this situation
Your childhood filled with much aggravation
And refuse to talk about our problems at home
We feel as if no one’s there and we are all alone
So depression is the cause for our behaviour
And in our minds we endure the perfect picture
I bring you the pain to the brain and I deliver
The harsh reality of life to make you a believer
Humanity suffers insanity due to what we encounter
All this misfortune in life but we must consider
That unfavorable events happen for a good reason
Necessity will force you to lead a new mission
Must continue our journey into the next chapter
Strangers to the future situations we encounter
I have the readers confused with what I bewilder
And the population looking for the perfect picture
Does the perfect picture exist, or is it imagination
Conversation of the topic causes much altercation
For some believe that all men are God’s children
And with repentance for our sins we’ll be forgiven
When one becomes deceased he will live heavenly
Others believe this world is surrounded by cruelty
Sins of men causes Earth to witness catastrophes
The pain we are forced to suffer creates animosity
Will the outcome be good, will we receive a savior
We pray and hope that we can see the perfect picture
