Shout
Nick Carter vs. Michael Jackson Lyrics

This is not your ordinary record
This song is not just like any other song

Ignorance of people purchasing diamonds and necklaces
People are spending money on things they don't really need

And barely able to keep the payments up on their lessons
They can't even afford to pay for their education

And enrolled in a class and don't know who the professor is
They are going to school without even knowing who their teacher is

How low people go for the dough and make a mess of things
People do terrible things just for money

Kids are murderin' other kids for the fun of it
Children are killing each other just for entertainment

Instead of using their mind or their fist they put a gun in it
Instead of solving problems with their intelligence or strength, they resort to violence

Want to be a part of a clique, don't know who's runnin' it
People want to be in a group without even knowing who the leader is

Tragedy on top of tragedy, you know it's killing me
The constant negative events are causing emotional distress

So many people in agony, this shouldn't have to be
There are too many people suffering and this situation shouldn't exist

Too busy focusing on ourselves and not His Majesty
People are too obsessed with their own lives and not with spirituality

There has to be some type of change for this day and age
Something needs to be done to improve the current situation

We gotta rearrange and flip the page
We need to make significant changes and start fresh

Living encaged like animals and cannibals
People are living like they're trapped and resorting to barbaric behavior

Eatin' each other alive just to survive the nine to five
People are competing with and hurting each other just to make a living

Every single day is trouble while we struggle and strive
Every day is full of problems as people try to survive

And peace of mind is hard to find
It is difficult to find inner peace amid chaos

Problems, complications and accusations
Many issues and accusations exist

Dividing the nations and races of empty faces
People are dividing themselves based on race and nationality, losing sight of individuality

A war is taking place, no substitution for restitution
There is a war happening with no clear solution or compensation for losses

The only solution for peace is increasing the height of your spirituality
Becoming more spiritual is the only way to achieve peace

Masses of minds are shrouded, clouded visions
People are unable to see things clearly or think deeply

Deceptions and indecision, no faith or religion
There is a lack of trust, confusion, and lack of religious beliefs

How we're livin'
This is how our lives are

The clock is tickin', the end is comin', there'll be no warning
Time is running out and we don't know when the end will come

But we live to see the dawn
We are still alive to see another day

How can we preach
How can we teach or advise others

When all we make this world to be
When we have created a world filled with problems and negativity

Is a living hell torturing our minds
Our lives are filled with suffering that affects us emotionally

We all must unite
We need to come together as one

To turn darkness to light
To change the negative aspects of life into positive ones

And the love in our hearts will shine
When we love others, it will show in our actions and benefit everyone

We're disconnected from love
We have become emotionally detached from others

We're disrespecting each other
We are treating others poorly and not respecting their dignity

What happened to protecting each other
We are no longer looking out for each other's well-being

Poisoned your body and your soul for a minute of pleasure
People are consuming harmful substances or engaging in damaging activities for temporary enjoyment

But the damage that you've done is gonna last forever
The negative consequences of these actions will have long-lasting effects

Babies being born in the world
Newborns are being brought into this world

Already drug addicted and afflicted
They are already struggling with addiction and other problems

Family values are contradicted
The importance of family is being replaced with negative behaviors and attitudes

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
We are born and die, and our physical bodies return to the earth

The pressure's building and I've had enough
The stress is becoming too much to handle
