They Call It Life

Is It Right?  
Same mother, different hustle,    
[/font]To the dude who killed his brother,  
[/font]Did she love em?  Kids with Struggle,    
[/font]Getting double, from that who judges,  
[/font]Trying to be the back bone    
but [/font]Missing muscles,  
[/font]About Twelve Years Old,  
[/font]Serving life, no parole,  
[/font]Pulled out a knife , then the 5O’s shown,    
[/font]Pleading innocent, but all his momma  
[/font]Seen was a delinquent ,    
[/font]Holding her sons last images,  
[/font]Then sent him off like a delivery,  
[/font]She was lost in her memories,....[/font]Trying to erase what she was remembering,  
[/font]Picture this, a life loaned because,  
[/font]Momma's gone, Drama's home,    
[/font]Just refrigerator with pictures drawn, Misfit grown,    
[/font]Utensils spawned, 1,2, [/font]Hit the Phone  
[/font]“Did Something Wrong”....[/font]Later the kid was zoned,
Front door,[/font]Pistols armed,  
Still had father’s crystals on,  
[/font]Blanket on too, “It’s a Kid Don’t Shoot”  
[/font]Questions from the warrant crew,  
[/font]Badges escorting to the burnt coupe,  
[/font]Asking what he done wrong,  
Its not even his fault, They take him to the striped car,  
To force a confession and put him behind bars.  
[/font]Now tell me, Is it Right?  
[/font]But some call it Life.[/font]
