For centuries I was told heaven won’t receive vacant souls
Mine froze and turned black as a crow
Will I grow these questions I don’t know?
Veins boil like lava hit by karma
Trash piles on every side walk
Children quietly observe this drama
Minds cluttered in guns talk
Drinking fountains are contaminated like Tijuana,
I stay hooked in books
Corners hand over jobs mostly to drug dealers and prostitutes
Public notices are afraid
It’s hard to upgrade
I lived in this city since the very first day
I took breaths it was eleventh grade
When my friend caught two in his chest
Value everything you drag along your journey
Homeless crave money to purchase another forty
Neglected dreams remain inside that bottle
I can’t name a person who wouldn’t wish to win the super lotto
Every one chases riches
Except my friends who only desire bitches
Another person murdered it’s sickening
Wise people speak what they think
I don’t picture my finger constrained by a wedding ring
It was raining the sky seemed awfully blurry
Police barged in searching pointing weapons
Scattering clothes digging random drawers
Breaking down doors
I suppose because my brother violated parole
My home is filled with roaches so I’m never alone
Another day emerges
I witness my reflection, fading
No one corresponds, lately, I want to call quits and be gone
Cowards show braveness through flocks
Broken pad locks privacy is disrespected in my block
Shots spark careless about a child’s innocent heart
Plant many seeds expand your family tree
Leave behind something that’ll represent your legacy
Brutality occurred in these streets before
I fall to my knees and pray lord; I want this no more
If hip hop was dead I’d take my precious time to resurrect it
Hit rewind witness the best inside my TV set
When Artist wore gold chains and pair of sweats
Jumping to beats slamming poetry
Deep Messages without speaking about hoes, jewelry
Cars, mansions and bickering I’m better than you
Glories times stashed in my memories box
we can’t restore the past
How long are we going to last
Global impacts terrorism mailing anthrax
Planes crashed Towers slammed burned and collapsed
I blow the candles of my cake
Near that day thousand lives departed away
Exhaustion conquered my brain close my eyes and still this pain won’t vanish
I knew a man that died because he done ungodly actions
Life is pure tragic through my vision
My Mother always told me son listen make wise decisions
Don’t turn out like your brothers 24/7 addicts to drinking
My father was opposite he gave me advice like
Carry a blade beside your waist every time
You’ll never know death might be waiting for you around the corner
You got to stay prepared strapped like a soldier
Knowing the battlefield is out there
I stare out my window tight fist
I swear ignorance is difficult to bear with

"Deep Messages without speaking about hoes, jewelry"
I can appreciate this line in particular. I really do wish that people would have more respect for their fellow humans in their lyrics.
Hope you’ve got music for these lyrics, because they’re truthful and good.
Keep it up.
Insightful, in a way. Though the sentences are really long and a mouthful, if this was meant to be sung. For a poem or other piece of writing, I think it’s pretty good.
7.5.
Awesome!
