MAKE A DIFFERENCE
(INTRO)
YA KNOW, WERE ALL PUT ON THIS EARTH
FOR A REASON. SOME PEOPLE DON’T KNOW
WHY BUT THEY STRUGGLE TRYIN TO FIND
OUT WHAT THEIR PURPOSE IS, & MOST OF
THE TIME THEY FIND IT. SOME JUST DONT
EVEN TRY & BECOME HOMELESS OR SO
STRESSED OUT CAUSE THEY DON’T KNOW
WHY THEIR LIVIN. WE ALL GOTTA STICK
TOGETHER & WORK TOGETHER IF WE WANNA
BE BETTER PEOPLE IN LIFE & FIND OUR
HEARTS & SOUL. WE ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE.
ONE CHANCE…….LETS MAKE A DIFFERENCE…….
(VERSE 1)
IF I COULD CHANGE A PERSON & THEIR ASPECT OF LIFE,
THEN I KNOW I CAN DIE HAPPY CAUSE IVE DONE SOME RIGHT,
BUT UNTIL THAT DAY HAPPENS, KEEP DIEING FOR FREEDOM,
STEPPIN OVER THE HOMELESS, WHEN WE NEED TO JUST FEED EM,
& SEEIN WHAT THEY CAN DO, WITH JUST A LIL BIT OF CHANGE,
KINDA FUNNY HOW THEY REACT TO A LIL BIT OF RANGE,
ITS KINDA STRANGE FROM WASHIN WINDOWS, TO CLEANIN YOUR RIMS,
GOIN OUT ON A LIMB, JUST TO GET A COUPLE CENTS IN,
IM SENSIN SOME THINGS, GOVERNMENT IS SO GREEDY,
STEAD OF MONEY THEY GETTIN, & GIVIN IT TO THE NEEDY,
THEIR PURCHASING ALL THESE WEAPONS, & PREPARING FOR WAR,
PLUS THEIR DRAFTIN ALL THESE PEOPLE, WHOS FAMILIES THEY ADORE,
WHAT HAVE WE ACHIEVED, BY GOIN TO A COUNTRY & KILLIN,
SACRAFICING THEIR LIVES, WHEN WE NEED TO BE HEALIN,
LIKE I SAID ABOUT THE HOMELESS, WE NEED TO START BEIN WILLIN,
A MILLION OF THESE PEOPLES EMPTY HEARTS, THAT WE SHOULD BE FILLIN….
(CHORUS)
CAUSE WERE STILL GONNA GO THRU, ALL THE THUNDER & THE RAIN,
& WERE STILL GONNA GO THRU, THE STRUGGLE & PAIN,
BUT WHEN ITS ALL SAID & DONE, THE SUN’LL SHINE ON OUR FACE,
& THAT’LL LET US KNOW THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY….
(VERSE 2)
TRY TO IMAGINE YOURSELF, IN THIS KINDA POSITION,
WHERE YOUR MOMMA NEVER LOVED YOU & YOUR FATHER WAS MISSIN,
YOU FEEL LIKE KISSIN THIS WORLD GOODBYE, CUZ YOU CANT TAKE THE PRESSURE,
YOU WANT THE EASY WAY OUT, CAUSE YOUR AS LIGHT AS A FEATHER,
TRYNA DECIDE WEATHER OR NOT YOUR GON’ BE STICKIN AROUND,
BUT IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND ALL YOU HEAR IS GUNSHOT SOUNDS,
GUNSHOT ROUNDS, GON’ FROM ONE EAR & OUT THE OTHER,
DON’T EVEN HAVE A PLACE TO STAY, SO YOUR UP IN THE GUTTER,
YOUR LIVING UP IN A BOX LOOKIN UP & DOWN THE STREET,
JUST FOR A COUPLE OF DOLLARS TO PUT SOME SOCKS ON YA FEET,
DIGGIN THROUGH TRASH CANS & TRASH BAGS FOR PIECES OF MEAT,
ITS RAININ CATS & DOGS SO ALL YOU EVER WANTED WAS HEAT,
& ALL YOU THINK ABOUT IS, WHAT HAVE YOU POSSIBLY DONE,
TO DESERVE THIS KINDA TREATMENT THAT A MOM & DAD GAVE A SON,
YOU WANNA RUN BUT YOU AINT GOT NO SHOES,
TRYNA TEACH YOURSELF THE LESSONS ABOUT DONTS & DO’S,
YOU WATCH THE 10 O CLOCK NEWS SOMEBODY HITTIN THE POT,
A COUPLE MILLION DOLLARS BUT YOUR STILL INSIDE OF A BOX,
& YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO, YOUR TRYNA FIND A DIFFERENT WAY,
BUT DON’T WORRY BABY, EVERYTHINGS GON’ BE OKAY….
(CHORUS)
CAUSE WERE STILL GONNA GO THRU, ALL THE THUNDER & THE RAIN,
& WERE STILL GONNA GO THRU, THE STRUGGLE & PAIN,
BUT WHEN ITS ALL SAID & DONE, THE SUN’LL SHINE ON OUR FACE,
& THAT’LL LET US KNOW THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY….
(VERSE 3)
WITHIN THE DEPTHS OF DESTRUCTION, LIES THE WORLDS CORRUPTION,
TO SOME PEOPLE ITS NOTHIN, BUT TO SOME IT MEANS SOMETHIN,
IS THIS OUR TIME TO GO? PEOPLE QUESTION WITH NO ANSWER,
KIDS 8 YEARS OLD & YOUNGER, EVEN DYING OF CANCER,
& IT SURE AINT GETTIN BETTER, WITH ALL THE WARS & KILLINGS,
BROKEN HEARTS/UNWANTED NEWS, AN UNEXPLAINABLE FEELING,
BUT ITS SUCH A COLD WORLD, THAT WE ALL LIVE IN,
I EVEN WAKE UP AT NIGHTS, BEING SCARED & BODY SHIVERIN,
WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY, WERE YOU GET CALLED A RAT,
JUST FOR SQUEALIN ON SOMEONE, YOU'LL END UP LAYIN FLAT,
ON THE GROUND, IF YOU HOLD YOUR OWN ITS LOSE OR WIN,
BUT EVEN THEN NO MATTER WHAT, MIGHT NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN,
ITS LIKE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST, EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF SEE,
EITHER YOUR GIVING BUT POOR, OR YOUR STINGY & WEALTHY,
SEE THE POOREST WORK THEIR ASS OFF, THE RICHEST GET THE GOLD,
BUT ITS THE WAY OF THE WORLD, & IT WILL ALWAYS BE COLD....
(CHORUS)
CAUSE WERE STILL GONNA GO THRU, ALL THE THUNDER & THE RAIN,
& WERE STILL GONNA GO THRU, THE STRUGGLE & PAIN,
BUT WHEN ITS ALL SAID & DONE, THE SUN’LL SHINE ON OUR FACE,
& THAT’LL LET US KNOW THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY….

SO WHAT….
(VERSE 1)
SO WHAT, I DON’T CARE IF YOU LIKE TO STARE,
I GUESS YOU MUST BE AMAZED WIT ME BEIN IN A CHAIR,
WELL YOU CAN GO AHEAD & LOOK WHATCHU SUPPOSED TO DO,
BECAUSE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT US, IS THE WAY WE LOOK AT YOU,
SO GET A CLUE, EVERYTHING OUTTA MOUTH IS THE TRUTH,
YOU’D BE AMAZED ON WHAT I SAY UP IN THE STUDIO BOOTH,
GIVE ME A PAPER N PEN, I SWEAR I’LL GET THE WRITIN,
CAUSE I COULD WRITE A DAMN BOOK, ALL ABOUT MY LIFE,
& WHAT, A HANDICAP DOES, ON A REGULAR DAY,
ALL THE STUFF WE GOTTA GO THOUGH, & THE STUFF WE GOTTA SAY,
& YO, I FLY LIKE BUTTERFIES & STING LIKE BEES,
I AINT ALI, BUT THE BEST, SINCE CHRISTOPHER REEVES,
ON FOUR WHEELS DOG, SKILLS DOG, I TOUCH & FEEL,
I GOT PEOPLE HOLDIN THEIR BREATH LIKE A NAVY SEAL,
THEIR TURNIN BLUE IN THE FACE, THEY DIDN’T THINK I COULD DO IT,
EVERYBODY GET READY, THIS IS THE HANDICAP MOVEMENT….
(CHORUS)
SO WHAT IF IM HANDICAP,
SO WHAT IF IM HANDICAP,
SO WHAT IF IM HANDICAP,
YOU COULD’NT EVEN IMAGINE THAT….
(VERSE 2)
I TYPE 41 WORDS A MINUTE WITH A STICK IN MY MOUTH,
SO DON’T SAY CRIPPLES ARE USELESS CAUSE AS LONG AS WE GOT HEALTH,
THEN WE CAN DO IT AS LONG AS WE PUT OUR MINDS TO IT & SCREW IT,
IM RAPPIN FOR A HELL OF A REASON, WHO EVER KNEW IT,
YOU CAN BE A DOCTOR, DENTIST, OR AN ARCHITECT,
& DON’T LET NOBODY TELL YOU DIFFERENT OR SHOW DISRESPECT,
JUST INJECT THE ENTIRE WORLD WITH A HANDICAP POISE,
& SHOW EM EVERYTHING YOU’VE GOT, JUST MAKE SOME NOISE,
GET OUT & BE SOMEBODY & QUIT ACTIN SILLY,
YEA YOU MAY BE ABLE TO JUMP, BUT CAN YOU POP A WILLY,
OH REALLY, WELL I’VE BEEN DRIVIN EVER SINCE I WAS FOUR,
I DIDN’T HAVE TO PAY A DIME I RODE IT OUT THE DOOR,
WHILE YA’LL WERE HOME PLAYIN WIT BARBIES GETTING READY FOR SUPPER,
I WAS OUT, RACIN THE STREET & STRAIGHT BURNIN RUBBER,
SO WHEN PEOPLE LOOK AT YOU THEY JUST DON’T KNOW HOW IT FEELS,
CUZ THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE, TO DRIVE AROUND IN YOUR WHEELS....
(CHORUS)
SO WHAT IF IM HANDICAP,
SO WHAT IF IM HANDICAP,
SO WHAT IF IM HANDICAP,
YOU COULD’NT EVEN IMAGINE THAT….
(VERSE 3)
YOU CAN PUT 2PAC, LUDACRIS, & EMINEM BESIDE ME,
BUT WE ALL GOT DIFFERENT TRAITS & THERES NO ONE LIKE ME,
ITS UNLIKELY, YOU’LL SEE SOMEONE EXACTLY THE SAME,
SAME HAIR, SAME CLOTHES, BUT AINT GOT MY BRAIN,
IM GETTING THE FAME, & THAT’S WERE THE DRAMA WILL START,
SUPPOSED TO BE SITTIN AT HOME, BUT I GOT TO MUCH HEART,
WE GOTTA BE SMART, WE GOTTA STOP PLAYIN THE PART,
STOP BEING TYPICAL HANDICAPS, & TURN IT INTO ART,
CAUSE EVERYBODY’S A MASTERPIECE, EVERYONE IS UNIQUE,
YOU ONLY GOT IT IN YOUR HEAD THAT YOU WERE BORN TO BE WEAK,
JUST CAUSE YOU GOTTA DEFORMITY OR YOU JUST CANT WALK,
DOESN’T MEAN YOUR BEHIND BARS WITH A SECURITY LOCK,
CAUSE EVERYBODY’S GOTTA KEY, JUST NEED TO KNOW HOW TO USE IT,
I NEVER KNEW UNTIL I TURNED ALL OF MY WORDS INTO MUSIC,
I WONT ABUSE IT CAUSE I KNOW THIS IS THE WAY TO BE NOTICED,
& I AINT STOPPIN NOW, MY LIFE IS FINALLY IN FOCUS….
(CHORUS)
SO WHAT IF IM HANDICAP,
SO WHAT IF IM HANDICAP,
SO WHAT IF IM HANDICAP,
YOU COULD'NT EVEN IMAGINE THAT....
