Dear my people


 

Dear my people , 

Dear my black communities, 

Dear my black women  men n children let’s put the guns down , 

Dear my black people let’s not only stand together for the cops but stand together for us killing our own , 

Dear my black people it’s time to wake up ! How many children have to go missing how many children young men young men have to die , 

Dear my black people let’s stop blaming the cops for out crimes that we have brought to our communities, let’s blame let’s make a change let’s take action , 

Dear my black people we are stronger than you think , 

Dear my black people we don’t have to be a slave to the system, 

Dear my black people we don’t have to kill our on to get on , 

Dear my black people we don’t have to get along with one another but attest have some type of respect, 

Dear my black people death have become so easy , 

Dear my black people we lost a lot of young souls , a lot of good hearts , a lot of ambition , they was bringing us something different n now they gone , 

Dear my black people yall not tried of saying r.I.p y’all not tryed of waking up tomorrow it’s your last day or someone close to you , 

Dear my black people we don’t want better for our children, every rapper rap about everybody talk about but what are we doing about it when are we going to take a stand my people , 

Dear my black people yall not tried of children asking you are the gonna die next , 

Dear my black people yall not tried of our children living in fear , 

Dear my black people what is it going to take to stand up for rape to stand for our children going missing our women getting killed our sons getting shot , 

Dear my black people it’s going to be hard to make a change but if we stand together we can do it , 

Dear my black people put the guns down n let’s fight with our words , 

Dear my black people our words n actions can get us far we don’t have to kill one another we can stand together, 

Dear my black people we can stop the beef in our communities, we can make a change their we can start one by one , 

Dear my black people I’m taking the stand n I’m asking you to walk aside me let’s make our black communities safe better schools better apartments affordable rent , safe streets , give our children their childhood back , 

Dear my black people let’s take back our communities let’s take back our women men children jobs house apartment school  let’s raise as one ☝️ 

This is a letter to my black people please listen to what I have to say I’m on the side of the right , I’m on the side to take back power , I’m on the side to bring up subject nobody talk about because we not famous, I’m hear to be the voice for my communities to lift my people to bring us as one ,
