lyrics

Lives are wasted day to day,
its a day to day , occurrence that we excuse as fate.
so much that I don't understand
how to interpret justice in lives taken by man,
a war of the elite, has my people starving in the streets.
losing their sanity in the heat, such mindless violence
High hopes of winter because it brings true silence.
and cold depression to teach us the lessons of drugs given to the

adolescence
There is no god here, I feel no blessings.
and this is what they excuse as fate,
a trapped house, in a trapped city we were never meant to escape.
Its so hard to hear the truth in its normality
but stray from the media and face reality.
rather than being mad at me,
there is more war than that of the middle east.
And if you don't believe me come to my block and hear the cries in the

streets.



feel down feeling deprived, that of war , this is our lives ,
that of war that of war.


An unjust bias system that is evil
where you're forced to sell drugs to your own people.
you find yourself to be helpless trying to help the minds that are

feeble.
How do you teach your people stuck that life isn't supposed to be this way
and that the hood was supposed to see way better days.
Teach them that leaving the hood wasn't supposed to be some fucked up

maze.
The upper class stays unphased as we wallow a the bottom
working twelve hour days just to keep food on our plates.
and they wonder why we're robbing
we are deprived, lost, gone, and forsaken,
our culture, our people, our society was robbed but naked.
The lives we lead are so far from real, so very fake
I spit these words as true cause there's only so much I can take.
