Poem
Inspired By Red Storm We’re living in a world where we are dying to survive Daily watching the news where people are killing to stay alive Minium wages are leaving more people selling drugs And single mothers are raising less men to love Because so many sons are growing up without the family’s head Forcing them to die before their dead We living in world Where fathers like me are scared to raise a girl Knowing that we can’t be with them every second of the way Making sure they do as we do, not just what we say This is a society, where you have to die for what you believe Then have others believe in the same things you died for A society where we believe what they say, rather than what they do Not understanding these rap lyrics are brainwashing you See they sugarcoat lies convincing youth That every word they speak 100% truth We need to take back these streets Replacing rap with spoken word on beats Instill positive messages in the hearts of the kids Convincing them they must not do what we did Somewhere or by somebody the ball was fumbled Forcing us poets to find a new ways to rumble I’m dying to survive daily you hear me But I will spread this spoken word through this poetry Until my body is covered with dirt and I’m laying in my casket I’ll just continue to be the poetry bunny carrying raw truth as eggs in my basket Everyday I pick up my pen and paper and began to write I realize even after the death of me this war, people will continue to fight So am I dying to live or am I living to die I’ll never know but one thing is certain I dying to try Trying to paint that picture you can’t overlook Trying to speak the words you can’t just write in a book I'm trying to reach every one, who they said was lost in the first place Dying to survive to take back my birthplace As Black Ice said, "we were so wrongfully mounted on" years before my time Trying to be that eye watching dog, dying to lead the blind I see our people have been ready for change So much they are killing for change Forcing the innocent to die for their change Now how many are willing to carry this cross with me, to force people to change Or will our generations to come still be dying to survive Surviving barely enough, just to say they’re not dead, and they’re still alive Yes like Redstorm says we are dying 2 survive!
