uprooting our hopes and dreams
tearing our family apart due to the words we speak
putting down our own flesh and blood saying the words
you are nobody with no goals in life to achieve
do you see the tears you cause
don’t ignore the prayers for our family to be
tragedy is everywhere we turn
Seeing a careless teen mom throwing her newborn away like it is a piece of trash
a life that just begin but soon to end doesn’t she feel the regrets
We turn on the news and hear that a fallen hero died fighting for our freedom
leaving their loved ones behind
a broken heart that the world has forgotten
a new baby is born with no father to hold their hand through the toughest part of life
we look in the newspaper and read the articles on teen killing our youth and
we turn into to disrespect our own culture
where someone’s skin color is turned away
where can they go
can’t feed their children
cuz our money is going to war
Where a child sees the brutal murder of their family
it saddens me cuz we cry the same tears and see the same sky
