Above The Chasm (C) 10-14-09

Dark days when you lose a member of your family United we should stand but we keep perishin from self It's a sickening crime of murder and I don't wish it on anyone But why is it that we can't murder somebody else Instead of destroying what God took "6 days" to create Sadly I can't walk the streets without fear of bein killed Are we not worth the battle? Instead we perish in hate Forget the world, truly it's our nation that should be healed Fear of these streets, it left many dead in cold blood And niggaz can't find a better way to release aggression How is it that when you map out the murder of another The bullet never seems to get the directions R.I.P. to those that received a letter from a bullet The Earth awaits your presence once more I can't pinpoint the point of killin my black family Or what in the world these niggaz totin guns for Is it the Game or is it the Cool that makes the streets so appealin Because whichever one it is both I'm willing to end Can't believe how many of these dudes die daily And there's no safeguard on anyone's friend Hangin in the wrong crowd can put you six feet under With a bullet about six inches deep Darkness never ceases to hate it grabs us by the foot Even after we were at the top of a mountain so steep We almost made it and there's no better luck next time Luck is only the scapegoat for those who can't fathom That we only have one go on Earth due to circumstances So it's time to overcome and finally rise above the chasm Man doesn't seem to truly appreciate the value of youth Hate is one of Darkness' minions so why not kill it Forget population control we depopulate ourselves I hope I'm actually touchin someone, somebody can feel it Clear way for me because if no one else I'll hold strong And keep the demons of our nation held in Light's tomb Be brave young one's continue to hold on with velcro grip And rise above Darkness before it's our inevitable doom
