Truth

Memory is to vivid 
Just to keep buried in a bag of bones 
Addicted to the prisoners
That accumulates prisons
Blacks are explicit but divergent 
Wonder why parents are so timid 
Mimic the streets 
And the youth gets beat
We see the steel first
No reason why we carrying our sistas and brothas in a hearse 
Tired of being tired 
Worser the depression 
Longer the noose 
Tired of the house hold abuse 
But the victim still gets treated like a animal
The storm we go through is for a reason 
But most don't get to live 
The truth doesn't get noticed 
Unless the eviction letter is noted
