Loose Lips

life

Loose lips sink ships but tight minds rebuild em, see I sunk in my own thoughts and went breathless trying to spit out a last gasp in a bubble to tell my people we in trouble, I just hoped it reached the surface, see I realize the color of my skin is worthless, cause the inflation of gangs and poverty kinda bothers me because we so stuck in the mid 80's mind frame with a 2000's technological advance, now we can scan pics of saggin our pants, flashin pitchforks or the famous facebook of that bathroom chick in boy shorts, and I see now that we have given the other 6 billion on Earth a chance to had a worldwide laugh at our comedy stand, cause the black race done lost way before we even left the starting blocks, cause most of us confused like Pac, one minute you holla you want peace, and then turn around and start beef, you tell our women to keep their heads up, but they a in ya next couple of lines, see the rhymes didn't start the nonsense, it was chasin after the cents that equaled up to the dollars that did, no more questions in schools to kids bout what they wanted to be when they grew up, cause the answer now is alive, and Im dead on with this, cause everything involving us is dead, including our brains cause a lot of us tripped on a girl's hair making history, and embraced watchin Stevie J put some busted chicks through misery, but that's what we seem to call our normality and in turn, we became abnormal, cause our formal mission was to minimize the distance between us and civil rights, then we turned left, hit a fork in the road and went straight down a path of misguidance, violence became our famous past time, and this time, it wasn't for cops beatin us in the streets, it was for us tellin cops to stay our the streets and let us handle our own beef, then we weep at funeral homes while at the same time planning to go home, load up chrome and start the cycle all over again....
