What happened to my people who stood for each other We shouldn't wanna **** or harm another Back then we fought for our rights Now since we've got freedom We been fighting for our life Looked at the news friday Yet another brothers gone Lord may his sole rest in piece And friends and family stay strong I hate to see the emotion of different family cries If we stop all this killing Then no one dies Gang violence is something we should have forbid Yet daily i see people teaching this mess to they kids I understand alot of struggled in the hood But that doesnt mean we cant overcome to something good We should want better for ourselves Yet we settle for the worse All we ever see is bad Like we're living in a curse Im just saying how can our future be better Over everything we done But i ll never give up until The battles finally won R.I.P to cyle we all know your in better place I know we all wish better things apon our race And even if i didn't know you Alot of people care Shoot when im looking at this dealth I see it really aint fair Well thats black america Land of the dumb Land of the shame And land of the people Who die over a color sign and name
