A young women took her life Just down the street A child in the school yard Found her hanging from a tree... 2 brothers got into another fight one stabbed the other over drugs Blood stained the doors He banged on for help... 6 shots broke the silence of the night Some how he's still alive Laid on the road I'm so familiar with With bullets in his head.... This place I grew up is changing maybe I'm more aware Violence all around Where does it end... children arrested for selling drugs *** trafficking Police raids In the last year I've seen it all... I refuse to give up hope This world I've brought my child into it can be a beautiful place Love can overcome hate... ........... .
