Why?
People killing and slanging
Hating and banging
Why?
Why does this have to happen in my community?
Walking down the street BANG Tim just got shot
Why?
Because he was different from you?
Why?
Because he was a little slower than you?
What do yall want from us?
Do you want my brother or sister
how about my anut and uncle?
Why?
That's all that i am asking
What does it take for all of this to end?
Japhat, Marcus, Tim, Heem and Chris
R,I.P my brothers
I'm praying that this nightmare will end.
