I Hope

Sometimes I think the sleeping baby dreams of
Maybe to be back in the womb unknown yet
The mother's life is on  the line from a bet
Before she her parents had her life set
Until a fatale car crash
Now we say sunrise to sunset
I hope one day it'll change, one day it'll stop
We as a people will be on top
Often I lend a helping hand
Tell a trouble child they can
Be all they be
see all they can see
Bullies are enemies today 
Friends tomorrow
I said i'm sorry  can i have your heart to barrow
I hope one day it'll change, one day it'll stop
We as a people will be back on top
I always make sure I listen
I don't want the cops to have me in cuffs on my wrist in
Back of the car screaming I didn't do it
I didn't see it
Now i'm in front of the judge
My heart's pounding, legs turning to fudge
Now i;m stuck in a 4 wall cage
At a very early age
My life is over
That's why I hope
We as a people can cope
