Taking

Some love the sound of them shots poppin off 
especially when they're the one that's pulling the trigger 
I hate this because in the black community 
it seems like Willie Lynch theory is looking 
more like a script that was written 
Yesterday those shots brought tears to my eyes 
because I'm sick and tired of this plague 
called black on black violence 
and it's looking more like an eternal sickness 
it doesn't bring tears to my eyes because I'm terrified 
For my own life but because we as a people 
have aborted and terminated the seeds we sow 
for a lil bit of doe, accepted a nickname 
high off pride not knowing to society 
You too are just a john doe with an expiration date.
