"ABC's of mount vernon"
  by jadakiss


A-all i see day by day is teens dyin ...grandma prays while mommyz cryin
B-but we still grind, even tho our friends are dyin
C-cause somebody wanted to prove they "ridin" ....the 5 or 6 ..take ur pick ..either way their sumbodies bitch
D-doin shit that gets dem knocked just to say they own the block
E-every month i lose a friend ..Aids....and bullets are the latest trend
F-flowers and candles on too many corners
G-girls scared 2 fall in love cause losing their love they cant handle
H-how niggas managed to hang a girl from the light post is beyond me, but even more disturbing is how people were in their windows tryna see
I-isnt it fukin sad how people wont speak up
J-just look how people say "black people dont snitch" ....but let a cop tel them 2 shut up den they wanna scream about rights N shit
K- kkk was known for doin us wrong....but now its black on black crime causin mothers 2 sing the sad song
L-losin a friend every month since january is fukin crazy...motivated me to get out the hood n stop being lazy
M-more than 8 kids in dis fukin buildin dropped out of skool....chillin in social services wit ur mom aint cool
N- No i dont like re-runs and i cant stand re-peats and after going 2 funeral after funeral...its feeling like defeat
O-other people think the hood is "poppin" but wat good is it if other pplz definition of fun is seeing ur number of friends dropping ..5..4..3..2..1 last 5 died from a gun
P-"prayer changes things" i hear dat shit time and time again..shit makes me wonder when the change is gonna begin..
Q-Quiet summer cause ppl scared ...death creepin down da streets ..pplz biggest fear
R-ready or not they takin ppl out ..i wonder if God hears when me n my friends cry n shout
S-simple things like goin 2 the store is become a big deal cause everybody at war...the hights VS the south side..who willin 2 ride?...
T-teachers no longer teach cause they have pep talks to give ...cryin when their lecturing us cause they want us to live "do wat u gotta do n move on from dis"
U-under survailance while we do our work 9 out of ten security guards in da skool are jerks ...if theres a fight their worse than cops tossin ppl around da floor like mops
V- very few ppl see our pain old ppl swear that we're to blame ..its a fukin shame
W-why would we make it harder for ourselves?
X- X-rays showed the bullet was still in my cousin's heart ....shit like dat is enough 2 tear a family apart...
Y-young and old God rest their souls idk how i made it this far but i cant wait to see wat my future holds
Z- zero tolerance for bullshit and lyin...im tired of cryin cause ppl dyin.. a miracle needs to be supplied quick !!..why are we dyin do live if we're just livin 2 die.. ?!?!

Fuck dis shit
