Devious MC - My Brother's Keeper

So many actors fail to be humanists
Lacking empathy
I feel I've been a few of them
From growing up on television
To catch a glimpse of them
To watching the news
Trying to make some sense of it
Many fail to be human
Wanting something exclusive
Watching what you are doing
People test your patience
Results are inconclusive
I can't say how I feel
So I put my thoughts to music
I feel like I'm being influenced
Not that it's abusive
It's more for my amusement
It's greater to have love
That passes all illusion
Than to have what, passes as confusion
At last, when I was losing
Caught up with the users
Was asked to be a beggar
Told them, "I'mma choose her"
Make some room for ya
It's got nothing to do with ya
What's it mean to you?
There has to be a future
What is the world coming to?
Something someone out of their mind would do
The end of all we know to be true
A loaf of bread, and a pint or two
Don't ask why I'm stressed
I'm minding you
You're looking for me
Well, I'm finding you
You'll find me sitting beside the truth
They hide behind walls
Their mind's the proof
I ain't seen it all
But there's nothing new
If I told a lie
No surprising you
But, I'd rather be put to death
For telling all my secrets
Than to hear you ask
"Am I my brother's keeper?"
Too many lights fail to be luminous
Where they gather in my name
Yeah, there was two of them
Said, "It was nice knowing ya"
But, I never knew of them
Told them I'll what I can do
And get to it, then
Many fail to be human
Looking out for the crew
When they're not all cruising
Aware of your own impact
Not making excuses
It's been an obstacle
Just trying to get through with it
But, "Never say never" on my schedule
Thought I made it worse
In the end, I made it better
I push it to the limit
My foot is on the pedal
I forgive your debts
So I don't become a debtor
But still, I don't feel forgiven
Speak for yourself, something's missing
What is the world coming to?
Something someone out of their mind would do
The end of all we know to be true
A loaf of bread, and a pint or two
Don't ask why I'm stressed
I'm minding you
You're looking for me
Well, I'm finding you
You'll find me sitting beside the truth
They hide behind walls
Their mind's the proof
