Analysis of Violence
Bloods over flowing.
Mothers tears pouring.
Deaths in the hood sky high and still soaring.
Brothers and sisters dying in their prime.
Ghettos and hoods full of unsolved crimes.
We attend more funerals then graduations.
We have false idols influencing the next generation.
Killing each other over false pride.
Wondering if the hate will ever subside.
Step back and look at what your doing.
Instead of love the hate keeps on spewing.
Young kids murdered for a pair of sneakers.
Unity destroyed families left weaker.
Ears shut down not listening to truth.
Murder on the mind like you have something to prove.
Fighting for turfs that don't belong to you.
Doing exactly what they want you to do.
It takes a village to raise a child.
The concept has been lost as our children run wild.
Stop and think is it worth taking a life?
Over sneakers, a dirty look self infused pride.
