I pledge allegiance to your flag 

One nation under God

Indivisible with liberty and justice for some 

I live a life where police sirens has become the new lullaby

“ hands up, don’t shoot” is apart of our every day language 

Going out praying I make it back in

Traveling my city I see 50 shades of red

Death has now become a fashionable statement

Jackson is no longer known as Jackson but where “ Sav got killed “ 

the light poles are now used to withhold the gifts of bears and balloons 

Yea I know who pulled that trigger back letting 40 loose 

But i know I’ll be labeled as a snitch so I’ll rather not tell

I live in a city where revenge is wanted more than justice will

So let me put on my black ski mask and hoodie to match 

Even though that’s why Treyvon Martin got killed 

We’re like a lottery to the system lucky 7 they got us bodying a lot of our own people 

We only fly because we just died 

Now A nurse has to be the one to tell a mother that her son had just died 

Scared to have a son because he’s just going to be another duplicate of a target 

You didn’t die like a ghee you trembled

this is what you wanted to avoid the label Of a snitch ?

Our mothers didn’t raise us to be murders and they sholl didn’t raise us to be murdered 

Always told to be men but how could we ever be a man when society has only given us one tool

click clack 

“ take him to the hospital it’s too much blood to take him home “ is starting to sound like a number one hip hop song
