My Truths and Thoughts Iv
these young cats are sick
bullets zip then they dip
witnesses zip their lips
wont say sh1t
they just skate off
homicide scene taped of
no dental records the whole face shot straight off
no his squad plots revenge
the cycle don't end
there can be nothing further
than thou shalt not commit murder
on their minds
in these sinful times
the elders say the end is near just around the corner
it's even closer if they swarm you with the toaster to warm ya
don't want to be a goner you best to use your brain
this ain't a spectator sport bullets don't know name
and there's no rhyme or reason life ain't the fairest
I've seen the wicked prosper, the righteous perish
the fool made of wise men, the strong turn to weaklings
in the land of the blind a one eyed man is king
and we blaspheme
with all this songs of murder we sing
in a sea of sin we drown
with nothing holy around
were like sheep without a she shepherd
lost looking for direction
self hate got us pointing weapons
at our own reflection
my mind flexes
spending time trying to find the message
but every answer uncovered lead me to another question
to death we all are destined
but what really so perplexing
is no one knows the hour or the second
while powerful but reckless
idiots with weapons
maim with no discretion
like their brains were infected
