Who's To Blame?

What's wrong with people in this world today? Every time I turn around another brother Has lost his life in some sort of way Whether it be stabbed, shot to death Or ran over by a car Or maybe he was sentenced and confined for life Enabling him to be with his family And makin him feel like he's livin in strife I know some may deserve it but others may not I'm just tired of turning on the Television Or reading in the paper that another black man Has fallen victim again The numbers are steady on the rise But no one else see's this happening Or understanding our demise That there's an injustice being done To keep the black man down It's no wonder why the Lord has to return to a world That’s continuing to burn in his name So can somebody please tell who’s to blame?
