Hold Your Kids Above
There's no hope
kids ingesting coke
others breathin dope.
It's all screwed in your head
you're so misled
you'd chance your babies being dead.
Through life you ride
so called friends by your side
always getting fried.
Turning your back
on all the facts
kids lives being ruined by crack.
Without a second glance
you never take a stance
it's as if you're in a trance.
Please find a mirror
move a little nearer
see a little clearer.
You need to be free of
what holds you back from showing love
what stops you from holding your kids above.
Only you can make the first move
to get yourself out of the groove
for your kids you have something to PROVE!
