bigted Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 What's up y'all I wrote this to inspire world peace, I was inspired to write this after hearing "Can't Think" by LL Cool J "Don't Destruct Our Future" Written By Big Ted In September 2001 Dedicated Forever to the Victims Of 9*11*01 Verse One: They say that rappers don't have a heart And that we ain't that smart But like anyone else, I do have a heart However, those terroists don't have a heart 'Cause they tore the World Trade Center apart I ain't trying to point the blame Or say any names But killing innocent lives ain't a game That kind of destruction is very lame We need to do something before it's too late By making sure these cold hearts get locked away 'Cause we can't let our lives turn into vein Or lock up our hearts and hate We can't turn around and act the same Or else we'll just bring more pain 'Cause it'll kill innocent lives It'll kill innocent husbands and wives And innocent mothers and childs There ain't a need to act wild You'll act worse than the cold hater You need to prove that you can act more greater And make your point straighter By not lettin' this blow up your mind to tiny craters Chorus: Why Do We Have To Destruct Our Future? Why Do We Have To Destruct Our Future? Yo, it doesn't make sense We Need To Save Our Future We Need To Save Our Future To bring us all happiness Remember Don't Destruct Our Future Don't Destruct Our Future 'Cause destructing ain't the way to invest Verse Two: Yo, I ain't just talking about America I'm talking about all areas We need to save all races We need to save all ages That's why we built the United Nations So we can build a worldwide foundation And not let guilt turn into discrimination As well as turnin' hate into a distant seperation We should learn to love no matter what confrontation Loving one another should be everyone's occupation No matter if you're a lawyer or a street thug You should not avoid showing love Words of encouragement will get you above When you're feeling hurt and shoved Like I said if we get better 'Cause if we still have hope in this world We could unite and let realness unfurl With good vibes around the world Uniting with all the homeboys and homegirls Igniting y'all for the future homeboys and homegirls Yo, if all the denet people go on the same team Hating would go in defeat That's why as humans we should not worry about dignity So this world could be decent the way it should be [Repeat Chorus] Hook : You gotta think yo You gotta think You gotta think yo You gotta think You gotta think yo You gotta think before you destruct! You gotta think before you destruct! Verse Three: Killing ain't ever real You shouldn't do it no matter how you feel 'Cause destruction ain't the way to reveal That's part of the Ten Commandments: “Thou shall not kill” This world's already too ill That's why we shouldn't just kill Yo, you gotta help us God This world needs you a lot The ozone layer's startin' to rot And it seems that knowledge's somethin' that Some human's don't got 'Cause they kill other people and act like cannibals And they have less sense than animals It's like what's said in the Bible: man will kill man And I know it ain't in God's plan 'Cause he means that knuckleheads will kill each other 'cause they can't comprehend That's why it's important for us to hold dignity and withstand And not let knucklehead terrorists destroy our plans We can't let them just conquer And turn our lives to somber It's our time now To break barreiers and show them haters how we get down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfuqua23 Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Itz pretty good T. As far as concept and idea. It'z cool. But I think maybe U used some words a bit too much 2 close. Like Heart in the 1st and kill in the 3rd. Plus U were kinda contradicting ya self wit "dignity". In the end of the 2nd verse, u say we shouldn't worry about dignity, then U say we should hold dignity. Or did I read into it wrong (just in case). But other than that, I think it'z cool. It'z probably help I've I heard the audio. Think it'd make a lil better difference in what I think of the song. Nice read T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigted Posted September 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Yo in the 2nd verse it was a typo, I meant "as humans we should worry about dignity", i was tired when i typed it i guess, 'cause it originally said in my notebook:"as humans we should worry about dignity". As far as lyrical skills this ain't my best but it has a strong message to it though, so that's what makes this song powerful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Prince Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 I read this before but forgot to reply. I like it man! Downside being the repetative rhyming of "heart" and also "kill" to a lesser extent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like me & Prince have the same idea of the song. Yeah, it does hold some power 2 it. That'z what makes it good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigted Posted September 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 As Andre 3000 of Outkast says "Stank You Very Much" for the comments y'all. As I look over the song I see how much my skills has grown over the last 3 years but the foundation of the song is strong and the little adjustments I could make won't be the concrete of it 'cause these were my thoughts back then and they still exist now about what happened that day. I'm glad that I could share it wit y'all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilsJim89 Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 I was digging up some old computer files and I found this little rap I wrote on 9/12/03....its short but tells the story up to this day... ---------- you caused the stress, which caused this big mess and it affected us, the US you caused us grief and disbelief what you trying to prove? whatever it is we fully disapprove when i think of Iraq i think of a pack of gays with their evil ways you bringin the terror but you just made a fatal error so tough with your suicide bombas please, ive seen a better fight between llamas threatening us with your bomb but we remain calm osama is hiding in a cave he might as well shave and dig up his own damn grave 9/11 we'll never forget and now we're making you regret that you ever did that we're trying to rebuild but people still gettin killed when will the fighting cease and we can finally have peace but same killings everyday we continue to pray but the clouds are still grey -------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
