Food For Thought Vol.Ii

Somebody please tell me where we went wrong how we as a people go from we shall overcome to uplifting these ghetto drug infested slums? How we go from dreaming about and reaching the promise land to teaching generations that for money pu$$y & power is what they should take a stand for? since when was the same streets that killed our brothers & sisters ever worth fighting for? what happened to rec centers & positive role models? all I see now is so called...real men that teach youngins to throw up gang signs & pop them hallows yeah that's the motto...marriage is a joke nowadays we live in a day where kids look up to d-boyz & self proclaimed gangsta's yeah this is what Martin Malcolm & Nelson died for to see you destroy the community y'all the real wanksta's...maybe we should look at them parents who thought they were to good to spank ya! what because you providing for your immediate fam illegally you want me to thank ya? But you know what they say if the shoe fits...wear it most these people won't even look their self in the mirror cuz the truth they can't bear it I swear it everybody's glorifying these rap stars like they the next prophet I ain't never seen a thug wit skinny jeans on man y'all need to stop it looks like history is bout to repeat itself just imagine if the hottest rappers & diva's in the game started to lift up our Lord & Saviour's name, Imagine if they put down their diamonds & necklaces and went back to rhyming & singing bout some life changing messages how bout if women went back to owning their territory got off the block and back in the household, Imagine if these men were lovers of their families instead of being disrespectful too the same people that... wiped their ass feed em and cleaned that nose Imagine if we as a people went back to that mission to following God's laws on Holy Living
