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
