Another Ni**a
Another Nigga
Hood turned into a war zone
This nigga feels alone
Lost his friend 'bout week ago
Plug died layin' in the snow
Black bodies falling from the sky everyday
Tho he see no marches for them anyway
Only a hashtag for his uncle and cuz
Unsung children being shot by they bruhz.
For his father and cuz the pigs didn't come
For his uncle, to pig bullets he'd succumb.
2 shootas unknown
2 shootas free ta roam
Are we human
or ain’t we
He repeats in his head:
Everyday another dead
News stays quiet
Only to show a, quote unquote, riot.
When the media open they mouth about the killing
The adjectives used to describe slain is chilling
Thug, gangsta, gang banger
Dumb, crazy, wild, violent, or harsh
Never innocent
He gives up
Goes down to the store
Maybe take a detour
Two niggas dealin’
One nigga sees him
Pulls a gun it’s gleamin’
Crispy cock glock an’
The boy doesn’t submit
And don’t give a shit
Yelling at the plug
No one give a fuck about me or the young
Everyday we die just to end up unsung
Go ahead
Pull the trigga
I’ll just be another nigga!
