Dark days when you lose a member of your family
United we should stand but we keep perishin from self
It's a sickening crime of murder and I don't wish it on anyone
But why is it that we can't murder somebody else
Instead of destroying what God took "6 days" to create
Sadly I can't walk the streets without fear of bein killed
Are we not worth the battle? Instead we perish in hate
Forget the world, truly it's our nation that should be healed
Fear of these streets, it left many dead in cold blood
And niggaz can't find a better way to release aggression
How is it that when you map out the murder of another
The bullet never seems to get the directions
R.I.P. to those that received a letter from a bullet
The Earth awaits your presence once more
I can't pinpoint the point of killin my black family
Or what in the world these niggaz totin guns for
Is it the Game or is it the Cool that makes the streets so appealin
Because whichever one it is both I'm willing to end
Can't believe how many of these dudes die daily
And there's no safeguard on anyone's friend
Hangin in the wrong crowd can put you six feet under
With a bullet about six inches deep
Darkness never ceases to hate it grabs us by the foot
Even after we were at the top of a mountain so steep
We almost made it and there's no better luck next time
Luck is only the scapegoat for those who can't fathom
That we only have one go on Earth due to circumstances
So it's time to overcome and finally rise above the chasm
Man doesn't seem to truly appreciate the value of youth
Hate is one of Darkness' minions so why not kill it
Forget population control we depopulate ourselves
I hope I'm actually touchin someone, somebody can feel it
Clear way for me because if no one else I'll hold strong
And keep the demons of our nation held in Light's tomb
Be brave young one's continue to hold on with velcro grip
And rise above Darkness before it's our inevitable doom
