Are You Down

Silence is the calm before the storm
Suffer in this world above the norm
As I face each day I waste away I slowly fade
Stone cold and being friendly to no one
Chaos on the streets as racial tensions rise
Killing each other because of foolish pride
Well I walk alone within my zone my fears unknown
Strapped hard prepared to take your ass out
Until you realize if you take my Brothers life
One of yours has got to die
Back to the streets as the war begins
Judged upon a skin that I must defend
I know the truth I've been that youth I stand accused
Guilty the end is coming down real soon
Looking through the cross fire I didn't see it
Racist on the inside couldn't release it
Watching as my world dies and I can't heal it
The murder the rape the violence the hate the Brothers in the ground
Well Are You Down...
