Violence begets more violence it has never solved anything just the foundation of hate use your weapons let’s show our real strength with a good progressive intellectual debate.

Is it beyond our belief to value our lives as of now our worth seems less than slaves with tattered rags getting beat with cow hyde, the ghetto a place we now subside darkness and frigid love what’s necessary is light and knowledge from above to bring prominence back.

Before gentrification brought along the mass murder escalation we had a strong connection didn’t need a gun and to kill for certification or a colored rag for verification confused rebels of an oppressed nation eternally stuck in the house nigga mind state.

Can we put the guns down aren’t you tired of seeing your children sad face with a frown watching his or her friend lay lifeless on the ground? We can take it back before crack restore conviction in our faith and pride when we defined and represented black.
