Social Conformity

Bogged down by pressures of society, its hard for a person to find their true identity.
The social forces that binds you to conformity, have you thinking that being different is a deformity. 
The sterotypes that tell you that to be skinny is in and being thick with some meat on you is a sin. 
Or that the color of your skin determines if you can win. 
How bout if you live in the hood, you will always be misunderstood. 
Girls who have babies young considered promiscuous, no matter if they were a virgin and just not sexually conscience. 
We can't even protect our streets cause if you snitch you are a bitch, 
while mothers are crying their eyes out looking for money to bury their child with. 
So a murderer goes free due to this social conformity, when does it stop why don't we see the inability 
to live under these pressures or as some would say these pleasures. 
Stop allowing them, they and those people to determine your measure. 
The gangs will be the minority if we stand and build up our community. By community i don't mean certain streets but a state of mind, 
its the love of our children our elderly and just mutual respect combined. 
Not by being crabs in a bucket,
looking at the next man saying fuck it, 
watching him each day go to work while you on the porch drinking ur nantuckett,
come on get off ur ass, theres a path that will take you higher, and the benefits you reap no one can deny ya.
So don't blame THE man manifest a plan, look in the mirror stand your ground and from time to time lend a helping hand. 
We have to get our mind right, stop doing things outta spite, 
look at all thats going on in the world has to show you that much is not right. 
cops shooting unarmed men, 
terrorist getting the tupac burial, oh where do i begin, 
social conformity will have you at all types of dead ends. 
Lets break it, we can take back our own thoughts, 
revel in a new age where lies in the media are not just bought. 
So come on build up self cause in the end of days you dont want to be bereft, 
knowing that living an unjust life caused your own death.
