Jordan

Continue to pour my thoughts out on this topic of discussion Slow down, I keep gettin the feeling that I’m rushin Like my cousin’s dying breaths, or the decision that was made But lemme backtrack, letting feelings get in the way A normal adolescent, aspiring for the highest Goals that were attainable, wanted to be the flyest We all searchin for something we’ve made a pact to do The drive of ambition, it’s in us, it’s in you Now snatch every dream that a mother had for her son And replace that with a breath, “Baby, just take another one!” A white man’s gun, the very courier of evil He left, enjoyed his night, but the gunshots were lethal Deceitful, everything we’ve been told from the start We’ve more than just some ghetto thugs, these thoughts split us apart What you must understand is our culture bore from oppression The Hip Hop inside of us a form of expression I wish I had the chance to explain to Jordan’s killer That the song “Beef” by Lil Reese shouldn’t label him a dealer Or is he ignorant or another ghetto thug? Do you understand that your ignorance filled him with 3 slugs? I don’t want sympathy and I don’t want affection I want this country to head in the right direction Instead of discussin who the Grammys should be awardin Work to prevent murders like those of my cousin, Jordan.
