The streets

what's going on with my people
Either they're selling the drugs or they're one with needle
Filling up jails and keeping funeral homes with good sales
Its hard to tell that we had people who fought for our rights
Gave their life so we can have a chance at a good life
But is it that we're so used to being down, that’s where most choose to stay
Everything negative seem to work for them day by day
What about our youth, is it to late to save?
They're killing them off or training them to be the killers
They're not knowing better because the street can bring them some nice figures
Buy them some nice rims
Going to school rocking the latest timbs
Not caring about what the teacher have to say
They'll continue to make their money the fast way
I'm tired of turning on the news seeing our kids waste away
hurting my feelingsBecause it was someone so innocent
A future doctor, lawyer, or politician
Who knew their future would end in an instant
We need to put our ears to the streets
Stop and listen
They're crying out for help
But who's going to pay attention?
Who's going to save our kids
we can't depend on anyone else when we're not willing lending a helping hand
Wait (weight) broke the bridge down and many people drowned
same scenario
just a different background
I’m tired of crying
Tired of losing our young men and women to senseless violence
Asking the question why
But we’re only hearing “I guess they were at the wrong place at the wrong time”
Well, where’s the right place to be?
I’m just not getting it
Someone please inform me
Tell me where it’s safe to be
Because I’m tired of our kids going down the wrong street
I’m tired of seeing our younger generation suffer because they’re hanging with the wrong crowd
it’s a damn shame that most of our role models are gang bangers and drug dealers now
I can’t help but to fear for my life
I don’t want to die before I have much success in life
I don’t want to die before I become someone’s wife
I don’t want to die before I give a child life
Think about it…….
The streets that we walk on are the same ones a body’s being chalked on

sexuality tripping

WOW, people that pressed over same sex marriage
They don’t rave that much about people and their stealing
People and their killings
Child molesting or racial dealings
But you’re protesting, stopping and trying to ruining the lives of human beings
Being gay is not a choice
And being straight can’t be forced
Love is love regardless of the parties involved
Just because you complain doesn’t mean the homosexual percentage would fall
Just because you tell us we can’t get married doesn’t mean homosexuality will dissolve
So the point you’re trying to prove is pointless to us
I’m happy in my skin, trust
Trust and believe we embrace the derogatory things you say
Dyke and fag to us is like “nigga” in the black community
Meant to hurt us, degrade us, and make us feel like we’re less than others
Throw the bible at us
Tell us we’re going hell
Lock us up in cell
Give us an intervention
Tell us that this isn’t the right thing to do
But you have to be crazy if you think we’re going to listen to you
This is my life so what is it to you
Life is way to short to be worrying about what other people do
Who I lay with at night shouldn't have any affect on you
But obviously it do
Your selfishness
Your hate
Doesn’t affect me or who I date
Your closed mine is fine with me
You’re the one upset not me
You’re mad because my better half is a she?
You’re mad because I love her and she loves me?
You’re mad because it’s another woman that completes me?
But just because you’re mad doesn’t justify you judging me
