Inner City Struggle
One bullet to the spine will leave you paralyzed
One bullet to the head can lay you in your eternal bed
You can't tell me blood is blue when you bleed red
We idolize when someone speaks their last words to be said
Cry tears at thoughts of the blood that they bled
As prayers go up wishing we had more time
The bullets keep ringing I just rake my mind
Why in the urban cities do we deal with this bind
I dodged a bullet got to college made it out fine
Explain why my brain is plagued with thoughts so wild
Sickening how it really picks at me if I was a kid again I could reclaim my innocence
Before I was witnessing the downfall of the innocent bullets fed to children like death is healthy for tha kids
Clears throat like I'm preparing for the speech of my life then get slain by an evil individuals knife
In the back
Good night
