The song "Words of Wisdom" by TuPac Shakur is a song that can totally relate to "A Hope In The Unseen" and "Finding Forrester". It talks about getting an education, getting out of the ghetto, and making something of yourself when others just want to keep you down. Character is very important. It is who we are, what we are about. Don't take my word for it though (although be advised of language), check out the lyrics for yourself.
