Genre: Society
Our World by Roderick Dupree
Looking left all my brothers turned thugs
Looking right my sisters sexing for love
Look up praying for change amongst us
Look down hoping the message was received from above
I see the same problems everyday
Violence
Envy
Gossip
Hate
A boy being a man before understanding his own way
A girl being a woman for confidence outside her doorway
Equals another soul taken before their birthday
I’ve seen days darken in the time of sunshine
I’ve seen dreams disappear at a point in time
Leaders promising followers a sure prize
Reality hitting followers with a surprise
Call upon the protect and serve to survive
Protect our rights when they decide
Serve our calling in disguise
Crucified for looking guilty because of my roots history
Only God can judge me but the gavel says differently
The circle of death continues
Different people
Same murders
