Fight

It's a new world, with false beginnings.

Shallow souls, with deep feelings.

Troubled paths that leads to empty homes.

Killing the innocent ones everyday,

Kids with guns instead of a ball.

Turning mother's hopes & dreams into tears.

Red & Blue of violence & not just a color.

Why my child is the biggest question,

Not what can we do?

Dressing in black every week,

This is not what we should be.

And they laugh because I continue to talk about Dr.King,

and how he marched for us to be equal you see.

Cops living in guilt, and your still selling your life on the streets.

This world is based on YOU, ME, and WE.
