THIRD EYE


(yea they see us but they dont want to approach us, they scared of us matter of fact they sterotype us dont know if we'll harm them or charm them Young men of color which let society structure us to the bad and the evil we know right from wrong but only WE know what its like to be poor, we dont want no struggle we dont want no trouble and we definitely dont want to be harbored in a cell Yet the street is what made us but that aint the way to go Cause if we do we'll end up like little Tommy who caught a bullet to the body We have to prosper and conquer any obstacle even if its foreign We live and we learn, we fall and we get hurt But at the end of the day your only a winner if its you who remains View life from a third eye and dont be afraid
