Violence


I was born and raised in Camden Nj 

Where you walk outside and see  gangbangers 

But you know I cant let this regular stuff  faze me 

it’s regular to me because I see guns on the daily 

when your trying to make it out and you need help

but no one is their to save you!!

“Dang” I guess you see where I’m coming from 

standing up to  criminals your whole life 

yeah that’s where I’m from.

So the message I’m trying to give to you 

Stand up, be strong  and look straight so you can see this through!!
