What makes us hate?

What makes us love?

The difference between making fun of someone's weight

Or saying their clothes fit like a glove

Maybe it's our differences that make us not ok and lie

Or maybe it's the reason we don’t wanna die

But still we discriminate

Saying things like”This is why you won’t enter heaven's gate’

But inside we’re not so different you and me

Just take a look under our skin and you will see

You see, everyone is faced with injust

But every time we try, our plans go bust

But maybe that’s the answer for us

Either we go just, or we go bust

We act as if the other is inferior 

But when they try to change that, they are blocked with a barrier

Discrimination is a disease and we are all the carrier

But instead of changing we try to cope

By either shooting or smoking dope

We do it knowing its not the answer

So it goes on and spreads like cancer

When it spreads, we become biased

Because when we do, we feel the highest

Everyone is faced with it in their daily lives

Because we refuse to look through the others eyes

So what makes us love and what makes us hate?

Let’s just forget the bad and finally come together and just be great
