Another Statistic

Another statistic, nah

I just wanna live in Gods cubicle, far away from Lucifer

Not a slave, gold chains compliment the mula' much

Rather see me crucified, police are the crucifiers

Shoot us up and dig a ditch, this ain't nothin' new to us

Murders happen every day, kids on their merry way

Dying 'fore they're 21, bullets never had a name

God bless Trayvon Martin, I'm in my hoodie

Another innocent young brother who met a bully

Man, this poor world is fucked up

Hard times, tough luck

Section 80, food stamps, jobs never hired us

I'm just tryna' fulfill my wish list

Don't wanna be another statistic

(No matter what obstacles come our way)

(No matter how much they try to keep us down)

(Nothing should stop us from being victorious)

(We shall fight)

Don't wanna be another statistic

(We will never give up, we will never give in)

(We shall take it to the mountain top)

(Nobody can hold us down, I say nobody)

Don't wanna be another statistic

Another statistic

Martin Luther King had a dream and my **** do too

While Emmett Till beat and killed and gouged like a fruit

Reason why them youngin's untamable as a youth

And fuck the government 'cause they trying to disguise truth

I send my prayers out to mankind

Not enough graduations but too many crimes

Pay attention as a parent, gotta peep the signs

Feeling like a book is corny so they keep a nine

Lord bless 'em got me stressin', while I'm raising mine

See in the hood, people think you won't amount to nothing

Funny, I made a million out of 10 cents

Don't wanna be another statistic, preach

(We refuse to be a product of our environment)

(We refuse to be stepped on)

(We gotta stand for something or we'll fall for anything)

(Stand up)

Don't wanna be another statistic

(What's all the pain we been through?)

(It's time, it's time to stand as one)

(Stand up for one another, we will not lose)

Don't wanna be another statistic

Another statistic

**** getting murdered with burners, few in the sternum

Jot it in my journal why killers are so determined

I keep on preachin' defeat the demons in every sermon

Just watch the people that meet and greet ya, some aren't worthy

Some friends aren't friends, they dirty, need some detergent

So many tragedies around the world, I'm praying urgent

I'm just trying to become a blessing and serve a purpose

Nobody's perfect, I'm still sinning, just have mercy

While we killing our own people

Boston Massachusetts bombed by some thrill seekers

It's just so tragic, many perished, I could barely witness

Don't wanna be another statistic, pray

(From the trials of the streets)

(To the tribulations of the ghetto)

(No one shall deny our cries, hear our cries)

Don't wanna be another statistic

(The pain, the hunger, the hustle shall never go unnoticed)

We are the future, strength, the power of this nation)

Don't wanna be another statistic
