Maybe Then I Will Nod
by Emanuel OlanoThe things I believe and the things that I don't have been hard to say even when it was wrote
Don't be misled, just try to listen hard, life is an obstacle to see who gets far
People are poor, there has been war, people don't understand what we're living for
You can be sore, or you can be a superstar, but if you make the wrong decision you can be scarred
So watch out what you say and be careful what you do, 'cuz people on this earth are known to criticize you
You can be labeled as going to heaven or hell, but to me that's dumb, I believe you are what you spell, you are what you tell, you are who you help, you make your own decisions and you are what you sell
And in the end people come out what they came to be
Your fate is your decisions, take it gracefully
I have never really believed about a man in the sky, I do when I cry, but that's because I need somebody's eye
I still respect the fact that there could be a god / or a higher being, but that's 'cuz I hear about him a lot
He could be real, but in the end, why do we kill, why do we steal?
How are we to heal when our nations being corrupted by war?
Here, let me break this down to the core
America's always been thought of as a dominant country / an American dream is something we won't see
In America we got food that's trashing and rotting / In other countries we got people that are actually starving
In America we got houses with more than two levels / In other countries people's houses are made of some sticks and some rubble
Americans in a way have denied that the world is not perfect / Our vision is different, I say our vision is worthless
So when people ask me if I believe there's a god / first let me see a peace-made earth
Maybe then I will nod
