A Better Tomorrow

Yo, this goes for all my brothers and sister locked down

For all my peoples incarcerated, for those who ain't make it

Yo, in the housing thousands seen early graves

Victims of worldly ways, memories stays engraved

All my live brothers is locked down with high numbers

The young hunger, blind to these lies, they die younger

In the new world, the order, slaughter men, women and children

Ten feet gates surround the building keep us sealed in

The projects, lifeless like a Vietnam vet

Constant war, sever threats of enemy conquest

Crooked cops comb my building complex that's in the rumble

Streets are like a jungle, can't let my cypher crumble

Vivid thoughts, devils resort to trick knowledge

They kick garbage, lust for chicks and quick dollars

I know the pain the game bring, I did the same thing

Spaced out in the staircase performing a sting

It's hard to keep control, I bless those who seek a scroll

Tryna reach a whole nation and break the sleeper hold

Not a role model, I walk a hard road to follow

I sold bottles of sorrow then chose poems and novels

The gospel was told, some souls is swallowed whole

Mentally they fold and they eventually sold

Their life and times, deadly like the virus design

But too minute to dilute the scientist mind

You can't party your life away, drink your life away

Smoke your life away, fuck your life away

Dream your life away, scheme your life away

'Cause your seeds grow up the same way

A voice cries from the wilderness of the north

A representation of the families that lost one

All victims of incarceration

Or other divisions of the family structure

Youth are injected with serums that lead

To skin irritations, babies being born with disfigurations, experimentations

On their faces there bear worry-ations

Of mothers that carry the pain

Of blood-stained streets where sisters mourn and wail

Fifth brothers been slain from hails of gun fire

It lightly begins to rain screams of terror

Are hidden by the passing trains

This can't be little Hussein, his uncle cries

As he drops to his nephew's side, holding his cane

Just give me a name on who has inflicted this

Bitter sickness and left us to witness

Yeah, curses from war, innocent blood spills for days

Soothe in godly ways, hands solemn in praise

Tree of life, more precious than rubies, golden game

The wise shall flourish inherit halls of fame

Crime visions in my blood got me locked in prison

While we die hard living, people whine about religion, vision

Blow, spin and sin and killing what's revealing

It's a never ending battle with no ending or beginning, listen

Zero process, progress become the hunted

America's most wanted, good life flaunted, want it

Some of the speed, some satisfy a need

Some want to be down, young gun seed, jungle breed

The strong must feed, someone die, someone bleed

One flew astray and it caught my little seed

Can it be? The ice savage, trifle life, made me grab the knife

The righteous man was beat with many stripes, pipes

Take in my energy, breathe and know the rest

'Cause the good die young and the hard die best

You can't party your life away, drink your life away

Smoke your life away, fuck your life away

Dream your life away, scheme your life away

'Cause your seeds grow up the same way

'Cause your seeds grow up the same way

'Cause your seeds grow up the same way

Y'all bitches love dances and pulling down your pants

While your man's on tour you're spending up his advances

Your friends ain't shit, all they do is drink, smoke and suck dick

The whole projects if trapped in six

You either high school drop-outs, one to three cop outs

15 years old, shorty ass and top out

Ninety-nine cent beer drinking, pussy stinking

Fucking so much your ass and titties start shrinking

New world order slave trade, minimum wage, Medicaid

Can a devil fool a Muslim nowadays?

Inside my lab I'm going mad

Took two drags off the blunts and started breaking down the flag

The blue is for the Crips, the red is for the Bloods

The white's for the cops and the stars come from the clubs

Or the slugs that ignites through the night by the dawn

Early light, why is sons fighting for the stripe?

As we dwell through this concrete hell calling it home

Mama say, take your time, young man, and build your own

Don't wind up like your old dad

Still searching for them glory days he never had

So many bad want to scheme for American dream, no more kings

The cash rule everything now, we going down

These babies looking up to us, it's up to us

The Million Man March MC's, get on the bus

But envy, greed, lust and hate separate

Though the devil mind state blood kin cannot relate

No longer brothers, we unstable

Like Kane when he slew Abel, killing each other

You can't party your life away, drink your life away

Smoke your life away, fuck your life away

Dream your life away, scheme your life away

'Cause your seeds grow up the same way

'Cause your seeds grow up the same way

'Cause your seeds grow up the same way
