Society got me weak It’s crazy how you walk past a homeless man And don’t ask them “Do you want something to eat?” It’s cold hearted in these streets A black man got hurt just for talking to a white lady That’s freedom of speech? People pour tears everyday Shed blood everyday EACH AND EVERYDAY I pray the streets won’t take me away Before I leave this place Hope the Lord will forgive me For he can open his gate Society What has it done for me? Black people went through slavery But we still have no peace Black on black crimes happen as we speak Kids getting killed trying to cross the streets It’s hard in black communities We suffer to survive If you look in to my eyes Would you call me a good guy?
