Cold Blooded Genocide
*Cold Blooded Genocide (The Urban Wars Collection 1989)
What's the matter if a brother wants to wear red, black, or blue?
It ain't nothing but a color brother
Chill and socialize
Hang up your guns and don't commit cold blooded genocide
You owe it to yourself to be around
Sporting the good life...Hi-rolling you know
Now go another way and when you arrive at the other side
Be what may look back and say
I remember when I became a man and decided to survive by not committing
cold-blooded genocide it's just like suicide!
*This is the first poem from the Urban Wars Collection (1989) The newspaper
listed all of the children that had been killed due to drive by shootings. The
article featured a child who attended the same church I went to at that time. I
still see that little boys face today.
