It’s crazy how one person can’t feel safe in their own community
I feel like I should be afraid to even walk the same streets
It should be a river of blood for all the blood spilled from hatred
People I’ve known all my life doing 25 year bids
People still out there banging and got like two kids
Kids are being abandoned
Baby daddies being sentenced to life
Don’t even get da chance to teach their daughters and sons wrong from right
Got da watch from jailhouse visits as their kids get bigger
Baby moms getting bitter
Watch as their son’s voice gets deeper or grow taller
Their daughters start growing hips and tits
Kids spiraling out of control
Son just turned 16, he already on parole
Daughter not a virgin, just found out she’s 13 and pregnant
Mother strung out
Kid’s a drop out
All you can do is hold your head down and cry
And ask God why
I lost my father when I was 6 months old
And now my heart has a giant hole
I’ve tried everything to fulfill it
I’ve put a blunt to my lips
Throwing back shots of alcohol
If I can I would trade this all, for my father
But they say everything happens for a reason
People keep dying like every season
I had to fight to prove a point
I used to get bullied
It was a time when I became fed up
Just take my advice
Get out quick
Not everybody’s made for this
Stop the violence
Start a moment
