Mystery

Set an Example

Verse 1-
Even though we won the war
We lost the battle
We had to fight
We couldn’t settle, we couldn’t resolve
We had to get violent
We had to go through to the end
I couldn’t just let them be right for one
I couldn’t set an example
And not cause tears from fun

Chorus-
Common help me set an example
Resolve the violence, break the wall
Climb the obstacle, a primal call
Lets stop the war, lets stop the rage
Lets stop wasting energy destroying
Lets start putting it into creating

Lets stop degrading, putting people down
Dragging others in, even thought its not worth it
What wrong with us, what is this shit?
Lets stop the war, lets stop the rage
Lets stop wasting time in hostility
Lets put it into ability

Verse 2-
Even though we didn’t start it
We were the ones to end it
We had to cuss them out
Had to put them down
Walk all over them n their mouths
Tear them apart with our shouts
We never realised how foolish we were
Instead of making friends n an example
We were just another testosterone sample

Chorus rep.

End-
Lets be an example to all the kids out there man
We owe them a better world



So tonight i talked to an old friends of mine on msn, he moved to england. When he was here he had respect for me and wouldnt say anything bad to me cuz he knew what was coming. Now he thinks he can say whatever cuz his not near me n has a gang. I was really pissed off. And i reacted like I was expected, flaming and arguing. I started to wonder, what if I didnt do it, would I set an example for him to not be like he is?
You tell me.

i think you should repeat the chorus instead of the verse when it says verse rep.

It has a good idea behind it. I think gangs and anything gang related is totally pathetic.

I never really get 'in to' songs that are about changing the world and making it a better place, mainly because it isn't possible and will ever happen.

I thought the 1st verse was good and it had me interested, but it kind of went down hill from there. I can't stand words like 'beef' 'white trash' and 'cussing' total 'gang vocabulary' and I think your song is against the whole gang thing... I understand your point...but I just find them types of words uninteresting and uninspiring and for that reason couldn’t enjoy the song.

K changed some of it, the reason I used more gang vocalbulary is because Im affect allot by them, its easier to write something with the languadge of the people, and expect them to understand it than the other way round.

I can understand what you are saying. And i think the changes you have made have really improved the song. Good write!
