[00:12.34] | Heaven,is there a chance that you could come down |
[00:18.28] | And open doors to hurtin'people like me |
[00:22.53] | People like me,people like me |
[00:30.78] | People like me,people like me |
[00:35.97] | Is it fair to say that I am stressing out? |
[00:38.41] | I'm stationed in Iraq and they won't let me out |
[00:41.47] | My homeys said I was stupid for even joining |
[00:44.47] | My counselor said that my decision was disappointing |
[00:47.60] | How she had good slate for good state colleges |
[00:50.91] | And with my good grades it wouldn't have been a problem |
[00:54.04] | But they don't understand just the power of significance |
[00:56.29] | More than brilliance and certainly more than dividends |
[01:00.04] | And if you ask me now,would I repeat it? |
[01:03.10] | Would I fight in a war I don't believe in? |
[01:05.72] | Well,the answer is if not me where the cancer is |
[01:09.16] | They been doing this before Jesus of Nazareth |
[01:12.72] | And after all this time it is still deadly hazardous |
[01:15.79] | And Bush isn't really being all that inaccurate |
[01:17.98] | When he says,we're winning the war 'cause it's staggering |
[01:21.41] | But thats 'cause we're killing everybody that we see |
[01:24.60] | And most of us soldiers we can barely fall asleep |
[01:26.98] | And time and time again I'm feeling incompetent |
[01:29.29] | 'Cause my women back home,we're constantly arguing |
[01:32.04] | And I must be crazy 'cause all I'm obsessing with is |
[01:35.91] | Her MySpace and face book and who's commenting |
[01:38.79] | I swear to God if she's cheatin'I'm doin'her ass in |
[01:42.73] | I can tell with one look and it came to me |
[01:45.29] | Sounding something like a song hook,sayin' |
[01:48.66] | Heaven,is there a chance that you could come down |
[01:55.94] | And open doors to hurtin'people like me |
[01:58.38] | People like me,people like me |

[02:11.21] | Meet Sarah,the proud mother of young Sebastian |
[02:14.84] | Suburban professional went to college in Ashton |
[02:17.46] | In self pity she suddenly cried |
[02:21.09] | Would my life be important if I suddenly died? |
[02:23.72] | Neighbors saying what a nice women she was |
[02:27.03] | Keeping mostly to herself ever since the divorce |
[02:29.09] | And with the company down sizin'and the fall and all |
[02:32.91] | She really shouldn't take it that personal at all |
[02:35.84] | It wasn't her boss who had his eyes on her thighs |
[02:39.22] | And got a rise from her risin'off the desk though |
[02:42.03] | And despite rememberin'sayin'no plenty of times |
[02:45.09] | It was still a damn surprise being let go |
[02:48.09] | And now stuck with a mortgage she can't afford |
[02:50.91] | And too educated to blame the corporate world |
[02:53.10] | She got on welfare and hated it,case work a power trippin' |
[02:57.28] | And generally being degraded |
[02:59.10] | If nothing else she was treated sick |
[03:02.34] | And ineffective which is the worst thing |
[03:05.28] | That she'd been left with |
[03:06.66] | Damn,no magic from David Blane |
[03:10.22] | No painter to pain this pain |
[03:11.84] | No Morgan Freeman to narrate the shame |
[03:15.10] | So she took refuge and prayer |
[03:17.04] | Kinda like findin'God in the phone book |
[03:19.66] | And it came to her |
[03:20.91] | Sounding something like a song hook,sayin' |

[03:44.10] | I guess,I told you about myself to a degree |
[03:51.23] | Just by telling you about people like me |
[03:54.23] | But people like me they speak politely |
[03:56.85] | They don't start no beef or piece of white meat |
[04:00.48] | Everybody gotta eat but everybody doesn't |
[04:02.23] | Which is why I want to tell you about my favorite cousin |
[04:06.48] | He and I grew up where the sun shines |
[04:08.73] | And we both partook with the gun crimes |
[04:11.41] | And we both liked American rap rhymes |
[04:14.86] | Even though we didn't understand one line |
[04:17.86] | If you remember my line of notes in my last album |
[04:21.23] | I talked about a close call with a grenade |
[04:24.17] | I think we both must have been about seventh grade |
[04:27.23] | But don't panic we both survived without damage |
[04:29.48] | But we developed a bond like we survived the Titanic |
[04:32.73] | So when the country became frantic |
[04:34.23] | My mother tried to get us out,planned it |
[04:37.30] | To the last detail except the plan got derailed |
[04:39.80] | 'Cause there wasn't enough money for the plane tickets |
[04:43.05] | How bitter when my mother had to chose who to take with her |
[04:47.67] | So my cousin got left in the war and that's just hard to recall |
