Bullets rings.
Body down.
Officers arrives.
Mothers crying cause child has died.
And many ask why?

Yes, another senseless crime.

Subject caught.
Race exposed.
Another fool trying to live by a manhood code.

Just another sad story known so well in the black community.

Crime unsolved.
Community refuses to help.
And they blame the law enforcers for not doing enough.
When in truth many enable the thugs to hide.
While they remain free to do another crime.
Yes, another sad tale known all to well.

But many that lives by the gun mainly died by them too.
Than ministers comes with their do something truth.
When many afraid to confront gangs controlling certain things.
Yes, another sad story known so very well.

R.I.P on t-shirts and maybe a picture too.
But many times, we should hold ourselves to blame for accepting crimes.
When we afraid to report things by being quiet.
