The world is no place for fair play
It’s for word of mouth & finger to trigger

Now youth is cockin pistols, but can’t read a wall clock
—know the basics of dealin’ before they can even tie they shoes

****.

And imma say it, it’s not all our fault
just how the system was laid

but even then, it’s our job to break apart that system until due diligence is paid
cause I’m tired of watching my brothers end up dead or in prison

And I’ll be ****** before I watch another one spiralin’ down & I’m sittin — on my  *** doin nothin’

a **** shame

we need to stop the senseless violence

race v. race & gang v. gang; it’s all the same
how could we not see that?
we hate each other deep and let majority overrule us;

im sick,

askin my ancestors for a better plan
cause the one we on ain’t workin
& we can only blame 4-5 so much before we get our hopes up on 4-6

im sick.

The latter might overtake, forsake or even demonstrate they power on us & I’m-not-waitin.

I’m standin’ and speakin up-right here-but you might not accept me for my fair skin and they won’t accept me for my ethnic roots

im sick-
