The Boy who was taken by the streets

R.I.P Lil Merv

Too young to be took

But its crazy how something this drastic must take place

For us to look deep inside beyond the cover of the book

Above the dope game robbery is what we have accomplished

Taking lives like a crook

You can choose to follow the status quo

Or you can plow a new road where freedom and hope roams

From Overtown, Liberty City, Opa-Locka, Carol City, Perrine, Goulds, Naranja, Homestead, and Florida City

We are all fighting to survive in a system where no one is meant to make it out alive

Why should I kill my brother when there has already and currently a genocide against those who look like you and I

But I disowned those streets the moment my daughter exit the womb

I am her lighthouse and her safe place

So I must stay strong for her to keep a safe face
