WHEN A SOLDIER FALLS (DEDICATED TO ALL THOSE WHO DIED DUE TO SENSELESS VIOLENCE R.I.P)
IT'S ASHAME LATELY I'VE BEEN SEEING DARK NIGHTS AND DARKER DAYS,
DUE TO THE GAME OUR YOUNG BLACK GENERATION PLAYS ,
SEX,DRUGS AND VIOLLENCE WHAT HAPPENED TO AM I MY BROTHERS KEEPER,
INSTEAD OF GROWING UP TO BE ROLE MODELS WE GROW TO BE THE GRIM REAPERS,
CALLING EACH OTHER NIGGAS INSTEAD OF BROTHERS,
DIDN'T MATTER THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE THE SAME MOTHERS,
ONE CULTURE ONE COMMUNITY,
THAT SEEMS TO BE LOST ALONG WITH OUR UNITY,
HOW CAN A WHOLE GENERATION LOSE OUR IDENTITY?,
WHEN I'M DEAD AND GONE WHO GONNA REMEMBER ME?,
OR SHOULD I SAY US BECAUSE IN HISTORY WE WILL REMEMBERED AS A WHOLE,
THEY ALREADY TOOK IT FROM US THIS TIME IT IS US WHO STOLE,
THEY SAY EACH ONE TEACH ONE,
IT ONLY TAKES SMALL THINGS TO REACH ONE,
LET'S TAKE A NEGATIVE AND TURN IT TO A POSTIVE,
BUT YOU CAN ONLY TEACH THOSE WHO WANT TO LIVE,
I SEEN THESE STREETS AND ALMOST LOST MY SOUL,
IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW,
WHEN A SOLDIER FALLS IT AFFECTS A WHOLE COMMUNITY,
FAMILY, FRIENDS, MOTHERS AND FATHERS,
WHO WOULD YOU FEEL IF IT WERE YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER,
CHURCHES FILL UP WITH PEOPLE AND SORROW,
WHAT HOPE IS THERE FOR OUR FUTURE IF WE AS A PEOPLE WON'T BE HERE TOMORROW,
I KNOW SOME PEOPLE PERSONALLY WHO WERE VICTIM TO THIS VIOLENCE,
PEOPLE DON'T TALK THE CODE OF THE STREET IS SILENCE,
BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO SPEAK IF WE STOP THE DRAMA,
OUR CHILDREN CAN GROW UP TO BE PROUND FATHER AND MAMA'S,
THE BROUGHT US FROM AFRICA TREAT LIKE ANIMALS THE MASTERS POSSESSION,
GOT OUR FREEEDOM NOW WE REGRESSING,
PRIMITIVE BEINGS USING PRIMITIVE THOUGHT,
I'M SURE THIS IS NOT WHAT DR MARTIN AND MALCOM WEREN'T THINKING THIS WHEN THE CIVIL RIGHTS WERE FOUGHT,
THEY ARE PROBABLY TURNING OVER IN THIER GRAVES,
WATCHING THEY WAY OUR YOUNG PEOPLE BEHAVE TODAY,
NO FAMILY VALUES JUST WANT BLING AND THE ESCALADE,
I GUESS THAT THE PRICE OF STREEET FAME,
YOU CAN BE MORE THAN PIMPS AND DOPE DEALERS, HOES OR PROSTITUES,
IT'S THIS SHIT THAT IS EFFECTING OUR YOUTH,
YOU SEE THE MATERIAL THE BLING AND THE RIDES,
I'VE SEEN THE OTHER SIDE WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THE OTHER SIDE,
IT'S NOT ALWAYS GREENER LOOKING OVER YOUR SHOULDER OH NO,
WHETHER OR NOT THE MAN BESIDE IS FRIEND OR FOE,
WHEN A SOLDIER FALLS IT AFFECTS A WHOLE COMMUNITY,
FAMILY, FRIENDS, MOTHERS AND FATHERS,
WHO WOULD YOU FEEL IF IT WERE YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER,
CHURCHES FILL UP WITH PEOPLE AND SORROW,
WHAT HOPE IS THERE FOR OUR FUTURE IF WE AS A PEOPLE WON'T BE HERE TOMORROW,
WE WERE GIVNG THE TOOLS TO BE LEADERS, BUT INSTEAD WE CHOOSE TO FOLLOW A ROAD THE HAS ONE PATH AND ONE ENDING. INSTEAD WE CHOOSE TO LEAVE OUR CHILDREN WITHOUT FATHERS SO THE STREET CAN BECOME THEIR DADDY.... WE AS BLACK MEN HAVE BEEN ABSENT FAR TOO LONG FROM OUR CHILDRENS LIVES. YET WE CHOOSE TO CONTINUE TO FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS THAT HAVE BEEN SET BEFORE US KNOW THAT WE HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. TO LET THE WORLD KNOW WE ARE MORE THAN DRUG DEALERS, PROSTITUTES, PIMPS AND GOOD AT SPORTS WE HAVE THE CHANCE TO WRITE HISTORY THE GHETTOS ARE OUR JAILS ONLY IF WE GIVE UP AND SAY THIS IS MY LIFE THIS IS ALL I CAN ACCOMPLISH...........WE HAVE THE CHANCE TO BE DOCTORS, LAWYERS, WHATEVER WE WANT TO BE BUT FIRST WE HAVE TO STOP THE VIOLENCE AMONG EACH OTHER SHOW OUR CHILDREN THERE IS A BETTER WAY THAN THIS...... COME ON BLACK PEOPLE WE ARE THE FUTURE..................
REST IN PEACE.....OTIS HILL, RICHARD MACKENZIE, SCOTT SOMERS, TYRONE OLIVER, LEON ADAMS, KEVIN BOWSER, DINKY SPARKS, KEVIN WHYNDER, JOHNTAY AND ROMAINE, DONNIE DOWNEY, TREVOR BERBICK, MARTAZE PROVO, BRANDON BEALS, BLAINE PROVO AND ALL THE FALLEN SOLDIERS WORLDWIDE MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.
