How Long 'Til It Ends?
You can't turn on the t.v. anymore,
and not see any bad news.
You can't turn on the radio,
and not hear about sex, drugs, and death.
Shootings on streets, by schools, around stores,
Drug dealers, drug busts, death due to drugs.
Raps and songs about sex, money, drugs, clothes, and
then you have the 4th rape case this month.
When is it going to end?
When will we hear and see peace?
How far will it go before
someone sees what it'll take to make it work?
You can't live in peace,
knowing a mother abandoned her child.
You can't live without anger,
knowing the world is only getting worse.
A mother abandons her child, another kills hers,
A father kidnaps his, another kills his wife and unborn child.
You want to strangle them all,
But you can't, it'll mean you're just as bad as them.
Killing, but yours is avenge.
And still wrong.
