HOOK

To all my people out there I'm trying to send a message,

A yo we got to come together to receive these blessings,

We got people out here with no place to sleep,

& even worse they out here with no food to eat,

We got kids out here with no place to ball at,

& no Rec Centers they can go to & fall back,

What kind of life we want to make for our children,

If there ain't no place they can go to & make friends,

VERSE 1

I'm on a verge of going crazy; I'm snapping you know me,

I'm in a cell with no bail, with the detainer up on me,

Yea I'm mad cause in the streets yo this s*** is ridiculous

You wonder why other the countries in the world is sick of us,

The cops getting paid to gang on niggas,

Or if not hands up or I pull the trigga,

You try to run away then their first reaction is,

"He's got a gun" "o for real, let's blast him"

Another man shot by the hands of the police,

Another mother heartbroken so much that she can sleep,

Lonely days & all the tears I cried,

Because my heart was half broken when my uncle died,

No a cop get shot & they raise an issue,

Young bulls getting killed don't even bring up an issue,

Over 50 shots fired on a man with one gun,

'Protect & Serve' that's some bulls**t & some,

You think they really care about this F****d up economy,

When they shoot a brother up & then say "he tryna reach",

These cops don't care they just running around,

With a badge & a gun saying get on the ground,

& I'm not talking about with the words I'm saying,

I'm talking about with the bullets that their guns be spraying,

& they hitting brothers up on New Year’s Eve & they shoot up a crib,

& hit up a kid!!!

I'm on a verge of going crazy, Yo I'm snapping you know me,

I mean this s**t is getting crazy when they hitting up babies,

You wonder why all the stars leave Philly alone,

Because their kids ain't safe in their own damn home,

& it ain't only the drugs & the thugs they saying,

It's from these rookie ass cops with their short ass training,

So before you think about calling 911, think about it do I really want to lose my son?

Cause if you do there’s a chance that these cops might blast him,

Yeah I know you just want him to get a reality check,

With all the guns on the streets, & the war on the blocks,

Now you looking for help so you run to the cops,

But it’s sad cause these cops don't care,

It’s either get on the ground, or put your hands in the air,

& that's crazy, but what's a mother to do,

Being real don't appeal to the brother in you.

VERSE 2

And that's crazy, cause while we making these babies,

We never think about the hurt that we giving these ladies,

All day everyday with no child support,

While these dudes in the streets rocking Gucci shorts,

With that thing on their waist line,

Because dudes plotting in the streets, you can try him, he like "Naw it you can't take mine",

But then he miss & his bullet hit a lil kid,

Or a father working hard trying to feed his kids,

Now his sons so hurt because he miss his dad,

Man this s**t got me crying cause the s**t's so sad,

& the moms so hurt that she takes a hit,

& if the money stays right who gives a s**t,

But then her pockets get empty, there goes her pride,

& she feeling right now so she lets him slide,

& her bodies so sweet with them luscious curves,

There goes a new way of life, bingo for her,

But then time goes past, there goes her looks,

& she still in the streets cause she mentally hooked,

& the kids get older & they go to school,

& the other kids laugh at what their mom would do,

Now the kids so hurt & they feeling alone,

That they pray for a friend cause ain't none at home,

& when they get no answer from up above,

They all run to the streets because we all need love!!!!

MESSAGE......

Yo I'm sending this to all my people out there. Yo we got to change our ways. We got to not only want for our sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, aunts uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins & friends as we would want for ourselves. We got to want for our people in general. We got to come together & strive to help everyone. The sick, the poor, the young, the old, even the people that we don't like. Times are changing & we need to do what we have to do to preserve life. We got to put these guns down & stop the violence. Look how one stray bullet can affect a whole family, & in result may affect a whole city, state, continent, & even the whole world. I'm not saying that the cops are our enemies, because they aren't, but there is too much going on out here & we need to look to protect ourselves & those around us before we look for help elsewhere. Best believe they will do the same. The statistics show it. Look how long it takes to track down the killer of a regular person. But let it be an officer who gets killed, the cause would be solved the matter of days, rather weeks & months, & even years of a regular person. We need to change our lives. For this is the only way that we can move on to a better life & a better future...LISTEN TO THIS STORY...CAUSE IT GETS DEEPER IN VERSE THREE........
