Seeds Planted In My City

In my City 
When they say they will kill you 
It's prudent to do 
Believe them and keep the distance 
Because They really mean it 
And I am from my city 
But I got heart, tears, and poetry 
So you best believe me 
When I  say I will shoot you I will 
I have to do it 
But At least I will cry later 
And say no one needs to die like this 
And the government should do something on the streets
All the wasted youth are  looking at you 
 all the children of my city 
Are being planted like seeds 
In a desert  with no oasis 
So in my city 
It's best to listen 
When they say they will kill you 
Keep your distance and your faith.
