He Got His Wings
I know you are hurting
I can see your pain
The loss of a loved one is heartbreaking
But he is on a higher plain
Remember the times of happiness
Remember the times of the wild
Remember the things that made you laugh
and the things that made you smile
I know its hard to believe
that he is now gone
but don't hold him in bondage
Let his spirit move on
The physical body has passed away
No longer holding the wounded flesh
He is transcending to another place
wearing a warrior vest
The essence of...

Are we living
No we are dying
Drug popping and pistol buying
What Kind of seeds are being sown
When taking lives become our own
Who's raising our kids
The streets of death
And the lifetime bids
Father's absence from the home
Mother's don't care they are street gone
Out searching for Mr. Wrong
Wondering what he has going on
No more talking no peace nothing left
A hard sentence of street death
Falling tears....still weeping
Sleep and still sleeping
When do we awake
From the violence of self-hate ...

Cry no more mommy
I have caught an early flight
My death was not expected
But I see an Angel and bright lights
Another crime and it involved me
Please don't cry no more mommy
I am free
It was another crime one against the other
My death in cold blood it was one of my brothers
I know it's not fair
He still sees his mother
I can't understand why you have to suffer
Tell my friends and family
That I love them
Mommy wipe your tears
I may not be in your presence
But I will forever be in your essence
Cry no more...
