Bang!bang!bang!
Thats all I hear every day and night in my hood
Bruthas goin around killin each other like its all good
Bruthas gettin shot for their chains and Mike Jordans
Because of the gun so many lives shorten
I'm thinkin how can you take somebodys life over somthin so unimportant?
Everyday in my hood is like a fight
You gotta sleep on the bedroom floor so you won't get shot at night
Its so hard always livin in fright
I pray to God with all my might
Don't wanna end up dead with sirens and flashing lights
As my last sights
I wish bruthas would stop all this nonsense and do whats right

You'll never catch me carryin a peice
Words are my release
Poetry is my weapon of choice
This pen is voice
My momma always tells me,bein dumb don't make you a gangsta
And bein smart don't make you a lame
So stay outta the streets and stay outta the game
In this world,you gotta make yourself a name
Bruthas gotta stop all this nonsense
Silence the violence
Get their minds
Off of crime
And on education
So we can build a new nation
Full of a new generation
Who stand for peace and whats right
But nowadays bruthas are so blinded in their sight
I wonder how many more people gotta die til they finally wake up and see the light?
