Innocence is tainted

adolescents shot down

just for being born

this is nativity on war ground

bullets bounce and redound off roof tops in shanty towns

(pause)



The new moon rose high on the "City of God"

children turn to wolves with scarlet bloodshod eyes

subversive reticent police tantamount to heinous hungry beast

cynical in ways keeping order and peace with a piece(GUNZ)

(pause)

Trying to tame children with gun powder

hear the mothers lament against the backdrop of this senseless slaughter

all these children want is a hero a revolutionary dieing for their cause perhaps a martyr

but instead they only gettin hell

still victimized impoverished and bothered

baby is starving you people open yo eyes to this epidemic of violence

seven years old carrying gunz robbin

stray bullets wiz pass pedestrian ears/

my fear is that people have become numb and the worst is not here

people have become numb and the worst is not here

people have become numb and the worst is not here.

God bless yall. Peace.
