See Where I'm From You Have To learn How To Beat The Streets.
Have To Learn How To Survive Just To Be Able To Eat.
I'm Judge By The Color Of My Skin, Do You See This Cruel World We Living In?
We Killing Our Own Kind, Is This Really What Martin and Rosa Really Fought For? What's Going Through Your Mind.
Every Night I See A Picture Going Across My Screen.
The Sad Part About It, Is Most Of These Are Teens.
I Know Chicago Is Not The Best, Sorry For All The Kids Who Died May They Rest.
All This Killing, More Caskets Are Filling, People Are Poor Knocking For Some Money At Your Door.
You Don't Let The Hood Make You, You Make The Hood.
Come Back To The Community And Bring Some Good.
Let The Negativity Go Away, So People Can have Some Positive To Say.
When You Come To Chicago, We Shouldn't See Parents In Tears Or African Americans In Jail Doing Some Years.
A Parent Shouldn't Have To Talk To Their Child Through Silver Bars Or Bury Them Six Feet Under.
The Streets Are Affecting These African American Brothers.
In Fights Now They Don't Even Use They Hands, Pull Out A Gun And Now They Thinking They A Man.
Young Girls Out Here With Low Self-Esteem, They Not Even Letting This Boys Treat Them Like Human Beings.
And I'm Not Judging, I'm Just Saying Base Off What I See.
There Is Not A Lot Of People Working, Now The Percentage Has Decrease.
Young Kids Now Don't Even Know How To Respect Their Mother.
But See We Not Thinking As Leaders, Follow Behind Another.
We Don't Even Know How To Love Each Other.
This Is Not The Worst I Seen.
Do Anybody Even Remember When Martin Luther King Had A Dream?
But It Seems This World Is Falling Apart, And I'm Not Making This Up Violence Has Increased, Check The Charts.
If We Come Together As a Team, It Wouldn't Be No More Killing, Drugs, Gangsters, And Fights.
So Everyone Can Sleep Peacefully At Night.
Lets Help Violence Decrease.
So This World Can Be At Peace.

What Inspire Me Was My Community Because Everybody Want A Change But nobody is speaking up. I Just Hope People Can Put Down The Guns, And Make The Community A Better Place.
So That's My Message.
