The Blocks Been Torn Apart

Seen my brothers locked away in a cage
strugglin tryin not to get life doubled
and excuse me but we got rational rage
on the block our only hope is to bubble
rantings in pen no one thinks that I'm sane
seen brothers pass away and do you feel
look at the pavements shade, thats from blood stains
we gettin peeled can't we see the streets is real
now we deny I'm tryna figure why,
no one care when our lost souls go
we rationalize we all gotta die
but he's just sixteen 'that's how the blood flow'
we all in pain if we don't heed the heart
and it seems the blocks been torn apart
