It Starts With Us

crime influence, fluent ebonics

bars that mislead the scars that still bleed

the chronic negativity planted into our seeds

a thug's passion, he only shrugs

f--k the effects from his infractions

threats and distractions

prescription for his afflictions

a sickening addiction

enforcing street encryptions

ignorant

the frustrated viligants

invaded by the urban militants

the community's unity is divided

some of the black leaders are crooked and lopsided

where we are constantly under scrutiny

in order for things to work than we as a people come first

it takes us all to adjust even though most of our hands are up

can someone explain why these pigs keep shooting at us?
