Ma ville en rouge


Ma ville en rouge , my city in red. Perpetual blood shed. In the blink of an eye , another daughter Son, father, or mother life is over. And still we dont seek change, only living for the dollar bills, rings, and oversized chains. A young boy screams "fxxk school" believing that the rap game will fuel his life supplying him with everything. My city in red Gun shots now seem like fireworks. Life at first, seems like hell with never extinguishing flames and depths that no man has been able to mount from. The streets contains more youth than the schools do. And even if you're in the top percentage of your class, make honor roll each semester but wear your hair like Nicki Minaj they will still ridicule you. My city in red.. Ma ville en rouge
