Apathy? Who Cares?

INTRO (D. King) You are now listening to Tha Truth

What's the point of gettin out the 'hood with sports or rap - going back seeing your
friends in jail, dead, or on crack - it's that constructive criticism I unleash - though
they say only god can judge me not no person on the street - saying don't judge
others that you meet when you speak - I speak with love - don't judge - I critique
corrupt governments and police - up to us find peace - up to us rise above - find
ideas to try and seek - like homeless people - they don't really need the food we give
'em - what the homeless really need is some freaking homes to live in - Carlin had
some vision - a plan you can understand the mission to take wastes of land
where golf courses is sitting and use it for the homeless so they can have homes
arisen - it's too much apathy - that means people only care if them and their family's
living happily - it's sad to see - we actually don't know that we're one human family
it's profound - we're all African 'cause Africa's where the first man was found
we have the same background - rewind that back again - all racists are African
no matter the color or their faces we're all one race that's African - Boyz N the Hood
was a movie in the beginning that said like I would - like you could

HOOK:
I see apathy is everywhere who is gonna care (x3)
One day it could be you who needs help from who cares

It's hypocrites saying they don't dig hip hop's rhythms - they don't listen judging me
'cause of privilege and ageism - able-ism - heterosexism - look up the definition
this system pits neighbors in competition - I got a vision of making a difference and
sharing what we're given - it's something missing living with capitalism - bosses fire
as many workers as they can and get rid of 'em - they'd rather use machines then
pay people so they can buy what they need - we believe people shouldn't be
rewarded for having greed - what's that mean? that means money should never
come before meeting human needs - being rich doesn't impress me - you see it's
nothing special - it's impressive to help the poor live on a better level - bosses
paying minimum wage - acting like we slaves - we say how 'bout we enact them a
maximum wage - 'cause in the richest country in the world we got to many poor
people - a few people with too much we can't trust to treat us equal 'cause
under Republicans man exploits man - under Democrats it's the opposite scam
rewind that line two times to understand (oh you flipped it!)

They say heroes are crazy just for doing something nice - the crazy ones do
nothing it ain't right - we superheroes in real life - the world's so evil we got
real life superheroes in the night - watch the (Superheroes) documentary - you
might join the fight - I wrote this verse in my rhyme quoting Albert Einstein - it
was a crime in '64 when Kitty Genovese died - stabbed to death - bystander
effect - when people heard 'em screaming it was a mess - instead of doing
something they did nothing - 38 witnesses on the scene in Queens - in New York
she was raped before she died by the thief - outside at 3 - late - she was only 28
10 years later same building Sandra Zahler faced a villain - just like Kitty they heard
her screaming - didn't try to stop the killing - it could be you, your cousin, your
sister or your mother - do something - put yourself in the shoes of another
no doubt - there's a hero in you - let it out

People see someone in trouble - often ignoring it like they in a bubble - if you see a
person - something bad's gonna happen - gotta help, gotta help, gotta help
help and take action! that's the reaction we would want if we needed help without
asking - can't bypass a person in trouble and just pass 'em  - treat others
the way you want to be treated with a passion
