Lyrics dedication...

to one who begot me.

What's wrong with the world mama?
People living like ain't got no mamas
I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And if you hatin you're bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
You gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all


People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning*
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the love2x)

*You got me questioning "Where is your love" everyday. Just before I discriminate and put on a label on my forehead "Racist", I would contemplate to look how ugly I am in the mirror as a racial activist. While there is no such exaggerated drama, I think we should tame the devil in us to a reasonable level. I have been trained to always think outside the box and I was revealed that not only people (ladies) from China does that, but the rest of the world as well. It was just such coincidence that Chinese lads were in abundance in our country with most of them still very young and immature; and given a chance, the French, Germans, Americans, rest of Europe... would no doubt take the chance to be a devil for mere survival.

Screw that thought, even the locals are doing the same. It doesn't give me any reason to decategorize a [foreign] group of people from being normal. To accuse me of taking sides is perhaps not a proper way to cast your first sinless stone. I would really take a good look at myself. Shiat! I am a freaking Chinese too. So are my fore-fathers.

There is a reason why I usually hate to make generalization whenever I am stating a point or reaching a conclusion. I know what I doing with my life. I have not lost focus and I don't think I will ever lose focus for I know my purpose here will not be an easy one. Should there be one thing you'd ask of me, I'd pleasantly ask you in return 'to not to worry too much about me for I know what should be done (and what should not be done) and as I remind myself as a mommy's boy, I should, as well, remind myself as a responsible 25 yr old adult who already knows the priorities of live and life's difficulties the the only way to get around it is an established career, thus warrants a focused mind in academics. I know how much I can handle, thus my capabilities and abilities are not unfamiliar. I am forever in debt to your relentless loving and guidance. Do not stop, for love will cease to exist between us, time and space distantly estranged. Be confident for I know my limits, be confident too in your sons. Stop the discrimination. Think outside the box.'

I have been a victim of discrimination here in Leeds. Never in Canada. But I remember where I leart the word "chink" in a story when you related to us your experience in Canada. As empathetic a person as you are kind to others, reverse the situation so that people other than you are victims of your derogatories. What would they think of you? Just as what did you think of those who have interjected that to me or you?

There are nice people around. There are always nice people around. I Am not too naive NOT to realize there, too, are devils in disguise around. I will not become, as much as I can assure you, like an irresponsible man who knows nothing about the union, values, and essentially the importance of a family. I am aware of the bitterness to witness history repeating itself, and I do acknowledge your efforts to curtail the possibilities of this.

"STOP RACISM! People of the world, STOP RACISM!", my mind begs to digress.
How many nations have responded in aids to the recent natural disaster in Sumatra that left millions of people homeless? I can be sure that NOT ALL the nations in the world have even contributed.

In this attempt to change your stinging yet unfair indictment against Chinese lads, I hope there has been in some ways in here have made you realise some positive and useful opinions in favor for them. As far as limitation is concern, it stops right here. ... because I cannot coerce one to believe what s/he doesn't want to believe. I am just an ordinary guy who wants to share his views on the matter. I reason out things a lot.
