WHY?

If God said he made us In likeness of himself Then what are we doing All this killing all of this Not loving one another Man we're powerful Where would we be if We opened our eyes And tried to see Where could we go If we showed a little more Compassion Where could we end Up if we just smiled Once in a while I promise you folks, it Won't cramp your style Why are our babies dying Why are our mothers Crying Why are our fathers Yelling and screaming Why are we steady sleeping But we're not dreaming Not our theme. This ain't The way It goes no Why we sleeping, not having Real dreams We gotta keep reaching Why are we settling Why our families gotta die Why families gotta yell and Scream Why our future Gotta die Why is everybody settling What's up to everybody, top of the hour We are cause he says we are now Witness our power Everybody's lookin with they eyes wide Open Rushing towards nothing, let's gain some focus Like my granny Used to say these folks Ain't thanking they drankin We all riding in the same boat, and The sucka is sanking Whenever you speak Your mind people say You pissed off They like to think you bitter and Try to say that you're lost They Mad cause you understand Where things are goin and you talk While they keep accepting less And takin It raw. What we need to do is look at ourselves And start believing We spending less time living Than time for conceiving Families getting murdered Some cry and say God called em Keep shifting the blame for the killers and We gone and spoil em I ain't charging just sharing my mind I love this life and love our time I love our resilience and I love our grind But now it's time to rewind Rewind, refine, refurbish Replenish re-encourage Reunite , reverse, fight Killing one another Into the distance of The night Recover our parental rights Snatch back our future This wound is now bigger than A couple of sutures Life is what you make It nothing is impossible We can do anything And ain't no Stoppin us Life is what we make it Nothing is impossible You can do anything And ain't no stopping ya Winners never quit Quitters never win Winners never quit Quitters never win Why our families Gotta die Why our families gotta yell and Scream Why our future Gotta die Why is everybody settling Why Why Why our sisters gotta die Why our brothers gotta yell and Scream Why our future gotta die Why is everybody settling Why Why Tao, Tao, Tao All lives matter Why
