Why Haven't We Taken A Stand ? Dedication to Black History Month 2016.

Tears Were Shed ,
Lessons Never Learned ,
Riots Arised , But The Tables Never Turned .
Still No Justice , Police Brutality .
And They Still Wanna Blame Us All Of Criminality.

Innocent Folks Dying Before Their Time ,
Murdered, YES I SAID MURDERED, by the feds ,
We turn our backs for one minute , and in the blink of an eye , Jamar , Laquan , and Walter . BANG! Shot Dead . But My Question Is .. What Really , Truthfully Happened To Sandra Bland ?

Bigger Problems To Solve And Be Aware Of .
Like Ain't Y'all tired Of All this Drama ?!
But its like y'all don't even care ,
Cause y'all are just worried about how wrong gay marriage is , and when they gonna legalize marijuana .

MLK didn't March for us for this to keep happening , open your eyes , dont you see? Instead of worrying about the next , We really need to keep our prayers going to G.O.D. .

Matter of fact , instead of killing eachother up , We need to take a stand , don't like somebody ? Make a compromise , cause we need to help each other hand in hand .

Man I'm tryna tell y'all , 2015 was quite severe.  But if we don't act right , and stick together as a team .. 2016 is gonna be one hell of a year .
