Scared of Life

Young or old Black or white Everybody has the right To live daily without fear That's happening everywhere Going out's no longer fun When you're watching everyone Making sure they won't attack Shoving a knife in your back Listening to favorite tunes While walking in the afternoon Is scary when your all alone Afraid someone will break your bones Taking a refreshing shower After working out for hours Is starting to freak you out An intruders breaking in your house You are left with doubts and maybes Someone new watching your babies As you sing karaoke songs Scared she will do something wrong Living this way shouldn't be Part of our society Always looking with scared eyes Thinking it's your time to die Reacting every time you hear A noise that leaves you shocked in fear All because there are folks Who think it's a funny joke To make this earth a hellish place Frightened women carry mace Swords, weapons and loaded guns When did this whole world become A circle of hate and violence Everybody needs to silence These activities going down Before we're all graves in the ground
