We stand up for what we believe
Racially we do not trust the ones that usually use a weave
But who are we to judge one's true intentions
We attack, shoot, ****, and use incarceration
Instead of offering them the perfect education
The One above us is the only one who is perfection
So why do we demand for excellency
When many of us are filled with hypocrisy
We can never settle for what is giving to us
So we made the fair black man sit at the back of the bus
    Those years are past us, but are they really?
best country in the world? but we acting silly
I hear gunshots being fired around the nation
By men who sent your daddy to jail when he needed education
Government says we have right to bear arms
Yet many psychopaths aren’t aware how many they harm
Everyday i hear those sirens passing by
And i ask myself, do i also have to die?

9 small millimeters, flying at 1,200 miles per hour
Tiny yet so damaging and full of power
Few seconds to react
Before you feel the impact
0.20 seconds of reaction time
Before it’s too late, then we’ll hear the church chimes
Too young, 22 years old
For many, he meant the world
Piercing through his body
But still oddly
The man who commited the crime
Won’t be able to serve his time
Even though death looks fair
For his actions, he was not worth a single hair
The cowardly man ends his own life

— The End —
