Newtons First Laws


"Newton's First Law" by Lynisha Arceus Newton's First Law clearly states What's in motion Stays in motion until a force stops it So until we learn how to be that full force Stand as one We will continue to fall One by One Man by another Man's hands Hate because of the color of my skin Stereotyping because of the zip code I live in Newton clearly states, what's in motion Stays in motion until a force stops it So until we learn how to be the bigger person Turn the other cheek Or just walk away We will continue to fall into these graves "With our names on them" A bullet for a bullet Body for a body You bust one, I bust three You took one life from him He's out to get your whole team What's in motion stays in motion Nowadays' their pants getting lower right along with their IQ's They role models didn't even finish high school Those are the types of people they look to The ignorant IS LABLED as the "Wise" The young is led by the dumb They're trying tote a gun in their Pull-Ups Milk behind their ears Still sleeping with the a nitelite at the edge of their bed Still think the Boogey Monster hidden in their closet, messin' with their head It clearly states what's in motion stays in motion Husband beats wife in front of kids Son does the same thing too But daughter they only one who Comes home with bruise from another dude Every time a bullet flies, a body drops one or two But it might not be who they wanted to And the cycle continues Until a force stops it I'm not asking for one human being to end world hunger within one day It took them centuries to build the Great Chinese Wall To stand that way and it still stands to this day I want my words to be the fluid that sits inside that lighter That will help enlighten the mind of the next fighter THE NEXT WRITER, THE NEXT KING TO TELL US ABOUT HIS OR HER DREAM I want my words to be the cause of your high Be that drug that influences you to do more than just to let time pass by Until a force stops it. THIS HAS TO STOP FOR THIS TO STOP WE HAVE TO BE THE ONES TO STOP IT BE THE ONES TO ADMIT TO IT BE THE ONES TO FIX IT SO UNTIL WE ALL GET IT WE WILL CONTINUE TO FALL IN IT Newton's First Law clearly states what's in motion Stays in motion until a force stops it.
