why does it always seem that the good die young
wether by natural causes or in the hood by a gun
alot of us fear things that we don't understand
dealt bad cards in other words we get the under hand
loved ones are here one day then vanish in an instant
everyday people with goals of going to princeton
or artists who plan on doing some shows in kingston
untimely tragedies tend to flip the script, why?
cause that blue car is the one my cousin was hit by
kids on the black top balling in the afternoon
seeing a death is traumatizing, end up in a padded room
police lie, u think one thing but the truth comes out
when death occurs we the youth are called out
and blamed for today's society turning out how it is
why some of us spit bars or do crossovers that wow the kids
niggaz be getting cartridgies put in them like nintendo systems
while the family mourns over there loss like september victims *
either u a winner or a loser, a follower or a leader
but on the street all that matters is avoiding the 9 millimeter
some of us hide in the shadows afraid to step out, why?
murderers get off the hook with a killing, listen to the public out cry
i'm a survivor been through some heavy shit that u won't be in
a slug in a niggaz shoulder will hurt like having clap and peeing
ya now trapped and surrounded, 40 seeds with the bag and tree in
rape victims will go to extreme extents such as to bag their semen
u may think the world is fine because u ain't seen ya share of pain
but in my city which is my mind and life that is where it rains
