Opressed

Maintain blank expressions Immune to pain See oppression?

Turning aggression to joy obsession Transforming deceit into prayer sessions

Mints for foul mouth descendants

Of our forefathers

Aiming my heart, cause they don't have a father

Or a mother

Never felt real love of being tucked under a cover

Dead corpse of close friends to my knees

We're all in line viewing the shell of a body

Crying out saying this cant be

You don’t even contain enough flesh to weep

Dead souls just creep

Skipping along to wack radio beats

What about me and the ones similar to me?

We yearn for more security just to be able to sleep

All through the days and nights with peace

Too many souls that the enemy has taken from me

What you see in today’s world is a real life battlefield

Who are you fighting for?

What are you fighting for?

God?

The enemy

Love or evil?

You pick and choose which path is best for you

I’m too old to be lost and I’m to young to live like my life doesn’t cost

Like my world that I create doesn’t mean a thing

Too many others across the world wish they had it like me

They wish they were living the “American Dream” like me

So I am forever blessed

Undeniably grateful I was put here on earth to make my statements

The reality we see is a real life mass destruction

Are you concentrating?

To the words written and the tone of what I’m saying

Get your mind out of the gutter

Don’t live in such a flutter

Honor they father and mother

Reach out to one another

Always love on each other

At the end of the day as a human race all we have is God and each other
