Distraction & Tragedy of Martin

Technology is nothing but a distraction

always wanna see them in action

how much knowledge can we gain

when we no longer use our brain

technology, nothing but a distraction

stop wasting your brain on it

cheating you out, you aint gone learn a bit.

 

Never knew wearing a hoody can cost your life,

crying for help no one in sight, not even daddy's wife. 

took the shot,made it not

this is a tragedy, we aint safe being protected by the enemy,

up to no good is whats in mind of a black male to be,

one glance thats all you want to know of his identity.

your face show fear but deep inside you share a secret frown,

never thought about the life he had before you gun him down. 

coulda thought of something else to do,this is called thinking twice, but all I know of what you did

you gonna pay the price .

he'll forever live on and the tragedy

may forever remain in our heart our heart. 

R.I.P Trayvon Martin
