Baltimore...Why I cry!

Why I cry.

I cry because this is a shame.

I cry because things will never be the same. 

I cry because my city is on fire.

I cry because we’re ignoring the youth’s desire. 

I cry because all of this is pure nonsense

I cry because my soul conflicts with my conscious.

I cry because I believe in you, 

But I cry because people are prejudging the point of view. 

I cry because my best friend is a police officer on the line

I cry because you all hate him and want to persecute him for the crime. 

I cry because I’m not from Baltimore

But I also cry because I live in the heart of Baltimore.

I cry because I want to burn this shit the fuck down. 

I cry because due to curfew, we're now on lock down.

I cry for the people who are trying to make the change

But I cry because their voices of peace are misconstrued as rage. 

I cry because Pac told me, the ground is going to open up and swallow the people

And I cry because we use social media and paid-off media as a steeple. 

I cry because the gangs want to help their fellow brothers

But I cry because all we see are…COLORS

Peace Baltimore.  Peace!!!
