Lord Save Us

Tragedies leave families devastated
Where's the love and the care?
What happened to ever being positively motivated?
Even in the neighborhood hoods they're segregated
With clicks and squads affiliations
Racism bourne into our nation from past generations
Turning on the news and it's poisonous throughout the nations
Kids being kidnapped
Teens getting shot up
A father beat his
kid's mom's up and now he's getting locked up
The world has gotten colder
Many crying out,
they could really use a shoulder
Your son getting older
But you locked in the pen for something foolish ,
Now he dropped out of school and following right into shoes
There's too many parents who's not responsible
Many of us live a life full of sin
Or serving a life sentence down in the pen
But what am I to do
But to simply speak the truth
Cause someone has to be a leader
and guide our young youth
Politricks manipulating our minds with deceiving faces
What have the politicians done with their campaigns?
Made millions of dollars then drink champagne
While there's families that are stuck and trapped into generational poverty,
Only wishing to one day of owning their own property
With lack of employment
Can't even afford to pay their home mortgages
Conforming to society standards is another way of our minds being dictated
Babies out in Africa praying for pairs of shoes, more food
the finer things that they never knew
Lord knows I hope we all
live life better
Bless the soul and spirits of Nelson Mandela
My city experienced the death of Michael Brown
Lord help us, feel like my city's going down
Black kids yelling screaming
"Michael Brown will change the town"
I wanna be that person that give you courage when you're down
I wanna be that person that change your frown into a smile
Cause truth is we haven't felt love in a while
So many soldiers who laid down their life
Bob Marley never would settle he would fight for equal rights
Just to say a prayer a night
For the young innocence killed and put into black hearses, remove curses young children reciting bad rap lyric verses
What happened to the love and care?
Do anybody got a hug to spare
Lord Save Us
