Lost Art

Life is like art that we can't see

The Brush, canvas and colors are already there

In many ways we have lost art

Meeting people that have good intentions from the start

Now people have bad intention, using individuals for the wrong reasons

Find a woman you meet just to know her as a person

Today every one of the swear you trying to talk to them just speaking

Talk to peers if we have problems

Pulling out a gun to kill them because of something stupid

Artists like 2pac, Marvin Gaye, James, Michael Jackson songs and words have meaning

We now replace it with Lil Wayne, Waka Flocka, Travis porter who's songs have demeaming to them

Marriage be sacred thing through the eyes of our savior

Not now because people want to marry for everything but the one thing they need. LOVE

Just have conversations about life, history, sports, relationships

Now this talk about sex, and bring nothing to the table that uplifts our people

Love the color of our skin, history for freedom, and the struggle

Battle between light skin and dark skin, forget the history of the struggle

Hold the doors, love and honor, respect, and love them for their minds

Beating them, use them as sex objects, disrespect them and only want them for their bodies

Follow the dreams you set out, stand out

Follow the things on TV to make a quick buck, follow cliques

Appreciate where we come from build our community

Forget where we come from, sell drugs, and kill our community

Use to listen to the wise elders that spoke things we need to hear today

Now let the words go out one ear think we know the world today

Stand by your man, and build your sisters up

Cheat on him use your body to get what you want instead of your mind hate on females over petty stuff

Bring a new generation in this life to take of you, give them morals and values, discipline

Today they don't beat them when in the wrong, hurt their parents, forget everything taught

This art is missing but in some raised in all can be passed on

But since it's so rare in this day and age

The paint, canvas, and brush is there

In this time the future

Is going to be a bad painting

If we don't find the lost art
