Street Tragedy
The tragedy in our streets is lack of solutions,
our yourth is is a violent revolution
bodies, dropping, it seems to be no stopping,
this trend that ends in friends against friend,
family becomes foes cause they are trying to live by the street code,
That street life,
they don't see the strife
thinks it ends in riches, start studded rings and cars,
I'm telling you even as I'm dropping these bars
They out there gearing up for wars
plotting the next course
my heart goes out cause they living this curse
all I see is a long line of cars leading with the hearse,
Cause in my hood they acting a fool
minimal provocation to pull out that tool
peace rallies, marching, nothing
is keeping these lil niggas from dumping
Like a phoenix can we rise from the ashes
stop our youth from these these deadly matches
I believe it's not a lost cause
just pause take a step to the side
Is this hopeful wishing
As a race are we not capable of winning
My heart is in shatters
why do they feel taking a life don't matter
They would rather hear the click clack clatter of that gun when the hammer pops
knowing they have ample time before someone calls the cops
Hood to scared to tell so how do we prevail?
How can our youth excel if they are constantly under this death spell?

I feel a lot of Marvin's Gaye's plea here! Need to send this to every member of Congress.
My favorite lines are, "all I see is a long line of cars leading with the hearse,
Cause in my hood they acting a fool
minimal provocation to pull out that tool".
Maybe a couple of typos---youth instead of "yourth" and Hood too instead of "Hood to" ?

Song I sung about
9 months ago
I use to be very paranoid
About people who imitated my style
And subject matters that why I switch
My ink like my underwear
But if you can get more sucess
Then I can more power to you♥
Because you can never prevent
People from zeroxing or attribute copying
Ink on! Imitating is it the best form of flattery?
Ps the derivative of NIGGAS tookin from NIGGER
Glamourized by the ignorant
Appreciated by the influcences that created
The word so I keep it out of my ink
To honor those who really participated
In the struggle for equality:'(
