Postcode war
Walking down the streets in fear for our life.
Wondering if the gang over there are carrying a knife.
What's it all about with gangs and there code?
Teenagers scared if there in the wrong postcode.
It isn't cool to be carrying a knife,
what gives them the right to take another life?
This is what society has turned into today,
gangs taking over and children scared to play.
If your in a gang think twice what to do,
do you think if you're arrested they will be there for you?
You think your the boss because you carry a weapon,
if it was used on you what you think would happen?
Is it really worth it to use that knife?
Give it up go to school think about you're life.
stabbing that boy who walks down the road,
just because he's in your postcode.
Killing some ones son, nephew or brother
If it happened to you then what about your mother?
Ditch the knife give it up and be done,
before it's your mother that's left without a son.
Walking away does not mean your weak,
You're more of a man if you turn the other cheek.
Who cares if that boy hasn't got a pair of Nikes,
He's in his own right to wear what he likes.
When you go out leave the knife at home,
What gives you the right to stab him for his phone?
using knifes leaves bodies on the ground,
when your in a gang what goes around comes around.
You have a chance to end it shake hands and be friends,
otherwise your mother will have no son
and it will be your life next to end .
