Victim
Victimized, suicide, homicide
verbal abuse everything
what a black child is used to
no father young pistol starter
he's starving
not for food
for guidance
the only thing he wants is
emotional silence
the world keeps talking
to em he wishes he was deaf
he's also a gang member
and he can't get out
he's a victim of the ghetto
that's looking for a place
where he can lay his head & settle
but there's no place left
unless he meets the angel of death.
Just Another Victim of the Ghetto
