Control. (Song)

There's truth to be found 

Around any dark corner

The shadow people lie 

To control us mortals

Manipulate weaker minds

In to submission

The fear takes a hold of them

F**k what they're missing

But to come out and say 

What you see's not easy

For fear of the normal ones 

Taking away everything

For fear of medication 

Numbing the power

To see a different path 

Then rainbows and flowers

A cloud of darkness 

Surrounds me

Light gets through 

Cause I let it's warm energy

Flow through my veins 

When I'm holding my daughters hand

Always be room for her 

In this cold world of mine

Don't want to impose

Or force ideologies

Keeping her mind pure and simple

Is hard I see

Props to the zealots of god.

You heard what I said

And I'll say it again

I've believed a lot of beliefs

None of them win

Felt the presence of God, but power from Nine Worlds

I'm sorry to tell you

All of them work

It's a matter of mind 

Over matter alright

You can grab power 

If set in mind's sight

Quit waging wars over this s**t

Accept that it could be 

And only it could be.

Hi Damien, A very poignant and powerful piece. Loved the lines
'For fear of medication
Numbing the power'. Working in mental health it speaks volumes.

[Damien Davison]

[*~*Butterfly Kisses*~*]

I can't say I'm a super fan of rap, but I could get into something like this. It rocked! hah. I like the music in the background, sounds really familiar and I cant remember where Ive heard it before. Nicely done. You have talent in more ways than one.

[Damien Davison]

I really appreciate that, I'm going to do an acoustic track for Our Hearts Dark Symphony, a song I have the lyrics for on here tonight I think.

[Coyote Poetry]

Good poetry and excellent music. I like to hear the word expressed with music. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem and music.

Thank you for viewing and reviewing.

[Jack Reaper]

im not a fan of rap, but i wont hold that against the beauty and message in this piece. A message all fathers should have for their children. excellent

[Damien Davison]

I thank you for appreciating it.

[Valette]

This is a good piece.
From what I understand of it, this is a song about the obligation of the strong to protect the weak, the duty of the experienced to treasure and preserve purity.
One tiny thing: In the second stanza, you have used their; it should be they're.
Their indicates possession of the person being spoken of; they're is an acronym of 'they are'.

[Damien Davison]

Haha never noticed that, lol, thank you!

[Jack Reaper]

actually, its a contraction. acronym is using the first letter in a line or word to create another word. Federal Bureau of Investigation becomes FBI etc..

[Valette]

ah, damn. I actually took the time to look that one up... Ha! I found it! -- its' called a contraction! sorry about the vocabulary confusion >.<

[Valette]

and another thing; i got the correction flipped backwards, lol! you used "they're." Still. As I was saying. =p

[Damien Davison]

Heheh thank you for the help I changed it it was theirs.

[Kelsey]

Wow, this is amazing! Wonderful rap, I can't wait to see the mixtape pieced together!

[Damien Davison]

Thanks a lot, I can't wait either!
