Nowadays true hip-hop is dead love is mistaken for lust
•
and snakes are crawling in the grass so there’s no one for us to trust
•
rappers speak on the basics cars money clothes and girls
•
and refer to us as hoes instead of diamonds in this world
•
and for the ladies we don’t make it no better cause we use the “B” word as a good thing
•
But get insulted to the max. when a guy says it and turns it into a big thing
•
but I’m no one to judge I do it too I just want to point something’s out ,
•
Like relationships they aint the same divorce is the first thing that comes to mind instead of working things out.
•
And to the guys what happened to being a gentlemen and doing the simplest thing like opening up a door
•
And its very trashy of ya’ll to get a girl knocked up and then not want to deal with her no more.
•
And to the dads like mine jumping in and outta ya kids life
•
but when we’ve said enough is enough you want to jump in and outta the blue try to make things right.
•
And to this messed up world where the mothers are letting the fathers touch the daughters
•
and the poor is getting poorer
•
And the soldiers are put on front line to defend a country that doesn’t even care.
•
Giving us these half baked unemployment checks and you lucky if you qualify for welfare.
•
This thing we call a recession got people stealing out they own mothers purse
•
And even got to the point where they’ll take from the only safe haven, church.
•
Screwed up school system just passing kids along instead of really helping the ones in need.
•
“College not if but where” but your main priority is making sure that the girls skirts come down past their knees.
•
Lukewarm Christians and even nonbelievers getting scared “2012” the worlds supposed to end now everybody want to get down and say God please.
•
Feeling pity amongst ourselves when we were the ones who chose the roads to lead to our own destiny
•
See, we’ve lost the respect for ourselves , but also the respect for others
•
Now , we’ll kill our own children and even betray our own brothers
•
Clenching your wallets tight to the unfortunate not knowing that you’re a cent away from that being you
•
Pulling the trigger on ourselves when times get hard and we think that there’s nothing else that we can do
•
No creature walking this earth is perfect or no better ,
•
But if you’ve noticed in this poem I’ve said “Us” and “We” but that’s our problem we don’t strive to help and do things together.
•
Forgive me God for I have sinned.
•
But Luke 23:34
•
Forgive “Us”, God, because “we” do not know what “we” are doing.
