Dion Baker - Self Preservation lyrics

Save your self... self preservation Is my self expression through communications Broadcast live without static through the main delivery Standing on intersecting loops of infinity But where do you stand amidst reality surrounding your mind? The first step to travel thousands of miles Walk in the shoes of another man... discover hatred Even if they've got love it's possible their demons overtake them In their life they can't even meet the basics or ensure their fundamental safety So the gun is off safety In a world where community is truncated... few legitimate ties Relationships become a cynical bond 1st amendment, to fulfill the right to your expression You need, real people to connect with I ain't talking about text message sending and computer clicking I'm saying human interaction thats what's really missing Social capital dropping rapidly factually happening Probably don't know your neighbors names actually Whether it's Jane or Zachary... it has to correlate To the negative state of American families I'm making an observation... families institutionalized Broken up right in front your eyes Drop your kids off at daycare you go to your job Elderly parents get placed to side... let them die Elders never get to share them gray hairs with grandchildren Parents working 2 jobs to pay the damn bills and rent It's not a matter of victim guilty or innocent This is the society we're living in Look at the crooked priorities, honestly See the politics bicker over 2 parties like they represent the opinions Of all the ma**es, cla**es... split into majority minority With minimal camaraderie Self preservation in society Needs to be bigger than first person pronouns, like “I” and “me” How about we try a “we”?... And switch it up a bit Right now we're living on some other sh** Tell me who your brother is?... And it ain't gotta be blood The selfishness is America will gobble us up And spit us out if you let it be the culture you live Then you'll become a vulture feeding on the blood of your kin
