Is being misguided
And Our acceptance of ignorance
An excuse for the putting out of our sisters and brothers,
The killing of our fatherless mothers.

And the let downs of once high values
That kept our flaws in check?

Is it the reason why my sisters are getting pregnant
To get that monthly check?

Men going to jail for love they haven't paid for yet?

Who's job is it to check mate this legal stale mate
or is this just a topic left up for some idiots to debate?

Make a move,
Pick a side,
I find myself with the rest of America
Sitting on the side lines.

Government corrupt
People illegal
Drugs an issue
And money is scarce
To get once tax cuts came and take it again
One day pass, more die
Not physically committing suicide but we hear about the homicides
On the streets,
my mom praying that it wasn't me.

We watch the news and the crimes it announces
with good intentions we in take the foolish statements they make
we digest our mistakes with our heartache hoping to drug ourselves enough
So the pain will numb.

THe beating of the drums
As i wipe sweat from my palms
I wish I was different than the normal human
But I tend to watch destruction as you do
Yet remain unmoved just as fools do.

I pray that someday I'll move like few do.
