A Lost Battle
POW ! POW ! POW !
 Did you hear that sound?
 It woke up the projects
 Oh Lord, who went next?
 Gun powder smell in the air
 Bullets on the floor
 There’s no comparing my city to yours
 Poverty, Violence, Drugs and death
 You have to be careful because 
 You might be NEXT
 I see the body lying in the puddle of blood
 Everybody around the block knows what happened to Cuz
 He was trying to defend his block
 But the Bloods came and made the hood ROCK!
 Standing on those corners
 Fighting for their borders
 Rappin’ they set
 While throwing up the West
 But is it all worth it though
 Putting your life on the line for something so worthless
