Simon Jay03 - Alright

Vices
The country's turn to a crisis
The things we outchea doing are seldom or never righteous
An era where loyalty's determined by wealth they price it
Where friends are friends enough to kill your mom when they feel like it
It's enticing, and yeah I'm talkin bout the spirit dawg
The one that makes you think you ain't a gangsta 'less you killin' dawg
It's part of being black,well the brighter color's revealing dawg
Working out for some cause it's been planned from the beginning dawg
Like why are we never killing other
Why is it easier to kill our African brothers
it was a plan of action avoiding the interaction in certain races like blacks for them to slowly start attacking internally
And bro I'm not attackin em verbally
Nor am I pointing fingers for what's happening currently
Just that I got questions and I ask as a man,
Why kill for a Conner store and not for the land
It's deep,deeper than gold or the soul that was sold ,for us to get our so and so so called freedom
Whenever I think about,ideas of me without it make me wonder how we'd live, if we were to kill them
But I pass,pass for peace that I dont see in these streets cause folks are outchea killing people though they know that we need em
Pass for peace that I dont see in these streets cause folks are outchea killing people though they know that we need em
Bro I pass, I pass

As for my sisters
I hope they attitude's relentless
I hope that you happy and you know that you a princess
Forever by your side,my love for you is purely vintage
On a paralyzing journey and you feelin like it's endless
But, just so you I'm not switching up in an instant
I've done in the past but I promise there's a difference
A lot changed from my priorities to intentions
I used to never care, your safety's my chance at redemption for
all the stuff that me and my brothers have done
While he was having fun,he made you feel like you aint none
I know that you not used to it,being forever cautious
Being scared of your brother or father cause he might Force himself within you
And yeah it hurts to say that it is new
Certain cycles begin while other cycles continue
But who am I to even talk cause I'm no different
All I want's a happy world for my own sister
But she Can't get it,cause some other G dont feel the same
And because I am a man I'm left with guilt and pain
Though a certain individuals tend to shield the blame
I'm still stuck here and what I say is still in vain
Yow I dont get it
Yow I dont even want the safety or protection from the rapists if my sister ain't gon' get it
You get it
I don't even want the safety or protection from the rapists if my sister ain't gon' get it
