(WHYYYYYY???)
Another child has died... A bullet has found another victim... A young life snuffed out like a candle... Darkness where light once existed.
I a man with tears running down his cheeks... Such a savage situation as the politicians and the NRA run through the masses holding hands... Another baby gone as the people mislead walk to the edge of the proverbial cliff... Standing at the brink of our own extinction... Guns got more rights than black people.
Why?! I a man scream at the heavens... At my bredren and my sister... At the people who see me as a crazy fool hollering at the top of my lungs... A baby's body growing cold on a slab in a mortuary.
When is it gonna end??? Who is going to make the change??? Goosebumps on I a man's skin as the reality of what we have become sinks in... What an awful thing that senseless death has become the norm... So tired of seeing caskets filled with children... So tired of seeing prisons filled with children... So tired of us calling each other nigga... So tired of people placing more value on shoes and clothes than actual education... Massa in the big house pimping us statistical... Black on black crime and teen motherhood... Drugs that he brought in tearing us to shreds... Foreigners running the stores that sell the beer, sell the cigarettes, sell the pork, sell the gas... Money that never circulates in our community.
I a man living with all this pain... Another one of our baby's is gone... The heavens would cry.
