Merge20 feat. Mixology - Make A Change SlapSide Entertainment Produced by: Vybe Beatz Mixed & Mastered by: Mixology Productions This video and song was made for everyone in the world going through the struggles of life. It's your chance to make a difference in the world, by doing something that will help another human being. Learn to love one another and create world peace. We could all use a little bit of encouragement, believe that there is hope for a better future, and a life filled with abundance. The key to life is to create and deliver any form of value that you could possibly give. Spend a day volunteering for your community. Help those that are in need when possible. Share your knowledge with others and build relationships that last. Remember... it's not about what you want to be, but rather "who do you want to be" that makes all of the difference in this world. Become that person today. It's time for a change. It all starts with you! Listen to more of our songs here: http://www.myspace.com/mixologyproductions
