We Need More We Need Less

we need less homicide
less genocide
less suicide
but more inside connects

we more checks
and less debt
we need to be more in depth
less inept
we need more safe sex
and less death

we need more intelligent cats
less niggas with gats
less crack infested habitats

we need more reason for living
less a kissing
less snitching
and less lives sentenced to prison

we need more ways to shine
than basketball,drugs,and rhymes

we need more opportunities
in our communities

we need less N.W.A
and more P.E
less rappers more M.Cs
less people trying to rhyme like me

we need less hate,envy.greed,and treason
we need less cocking back and busting off for no reason

we need less gunfights 
less shots that echo through the midnight
less tears drops, toe tags,autopsy,grave site

more black babies more family structure
less that just my baby daddy or mother
