I truly believe that music can change lives both negatively and positively. Back in high school I used to listen to hip-hop and rap music. They usually talk about violence, sex, and money. Back then I thought it would be cool to join gangs and engage in school fights because it somehow the lyrics affected the way I think. Another is example is when I feel down and lonely, good and inspirational music could easily lift my spirit up and make me feel better. I'm just thankful that I never got hook in songs with depressive lyrics.
