Skirrrt Skirrrt...pop pop pop

Another body drop on empty lot whip dip from the scene, what was the cause for this tragic circumstance?

Was it drug related?

Was it a money coming up short situation?

Was it a street code violation, or a petty jealousy beef?

Dam...was it serious enough to take a life?

You do the math...

You've SUBTRACTED a human being from this earth

You've ADDED to the destruction of self worth

You've MULTIPLIED the death toll in inner cities that's getting worse

You've DIVIDED families with broken hearts from loved ones lost, can't seem to break this curse 

You've compounded FRACTIONS upon FRACTIONS the senseless killings endured as countless black men take a ride in that long black hurst

When will it end, how can you defend the evil heart of man exterminating God's precious souls for what?

Money

Ego

Hatred

Envy

I HATE that I have to write this, express this, give life to these words colder than your murderous actions

But...reality I take in, for I must pen truth hoping it will embrace the rage in man to think, for in a blink of an EYE a life can be extinct

Love thyself

Respect thyself

Know thyself

Deeply
