bullets-19

our children shouldn't have to run from bullets

ain't no way that i would let a viral threat make me forget

that in which i suspect is the reason that i can check

all media outlets

see the globe in a panic

i wonder how we under but never go over standing

a day before corona hit

i read an article that read

200 shootings in chicago predicted for tomorrow

but what i didn't see was politicians all over the screen

talking 'bout a vaccine

that stops kids from getting hit with them hollow

but are bodies in baltimore less important 'cause they poor?

they don't call for an uproar?

it's not an emergency when your board could count more

people that die from guns without going off to war

if we added up the numbers from ghettos across america

there's more deaths than the virus

and where is all the hysteria?

niggas is social distancing

we playing our part

but when it's over

i hope my kids can go play in the park

you know why? you know why?

tell 'em

our children shouldn't have to run from bullets

our children shouldn't have to run from bullets

they've seen too many mamas cry on the south side

so many nanas lose their grandsons to handguns

i know we get a forced pride from saying we outside"
