Perish

I'm hurt screaming and pulling my hair out Sicken by the drought Tears of fire boiling as my blood turns to lava Preying to Jesus cause only he knows what I'll do Ran with the wrong crew If only knew It'll take a piece of me with it A block of my saneness with it My livelihood has been invaded My glory long faded Gang violence underrated I lost my friend do to mistaken identity Because of his color he lost his dignity No one knows what he meant to me, to us A band aid ripped from a wound that will be forever busted Arrested development Suspended judgement Caused an innocent life to perish His life i will forever cherish
