    always been so
    raprite says (25 Jan '13)

    “It’s always been so”

    Broken homes and broken dreams
    Busted values, tattered seams
    Like a freight train losing steam
    It’s always been so, so it seems
    Where’s our values said the Queen
    Why don’t you swallow said the King
    Satin sheets are stained with shame
    Give me pleasure, fuck the pain
    I want it all
    You’re just the same
    It’s always been so, it’s always been so

    Little girls out on the street
    Hungry men no consciences see
    Try to ruin them all I believe
    Cause society to bleed
    Human Machine fucking feeds and feeds
    So it seems, so it seems

    It’s always been so
    That’s what they’ll say
    It’ll happen tomorrow
    It’ll happen today
    Nothing you do
    Can stand in the way
    It’s always been so, it’s always been so

    Now I don’t know what’s at the end
    I won’t guess and I won’t pretend
    Beat down, get up, grin and grin
    It’s always been so
    Don’t fucking know
    It’s what it is
    It’s what it’s been
    You know what I know
    It’s always been so, it’s always been so

    It’s always been so
    That’s what they’ll say
    It’ll happen tomorrow
    It’ll happen today
    Nothing you do
    Can stand in the way
    It’s always been so, it’s always been so

So true, so true and it happens to most although most will deny, they'd rather live that awful lie. It's been far, it's been near, stories we will always hear. So why doesn't society put an end to this ugly game and rid our world of painful shame. Try harder to be so strong because its happened for so long. Accepted by some but not by most, this type of life no one should have to host. Thanks Raprite for your words are true and dear and may for a while you keep rapping here. Blessed are the real, for they are the ones who feel!

Val :-( I'm sorry to hear that You're down :-(
Sometimes people just SUCK!!!!!!! Maybe that's where Brian's inspiration for the line, " Where’s our values said the Queen
Why don’t you swallow said the King..." came from :-)
Tee-hee :-) You know I had to point out the sexual innuendo--lol :-)
Cheer Up Sweetie!!!!!!!!!!

:)
The title 'always been so' is what got me..
The poor, the destitute..
I look at society and I see the things you are describing as always being present..why can't we as a group of ppl change over time for the better? Or does it just take a shit load more time than Imma thinkin?
A situation with my daughter and a bully--bullies have existed since forever-'always been so'..(sometimes bullies need their a$$es kicked-just sayin'..but we did not go that route--still it sucks..it will work out but still painful)
