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
