Louie McDon - Didn't Make the News

Young girl shot
She was in Seventh Grade
Didn't Make the News
I think the Blues were playing

Her Grandma calling looking
For some way to pay for her funeral
She's just the first of the day

Young man killed on the North side
Was trynna blaze n caught a stray
From a 4-5
His momma calling hope
The court's find, he had
Good intentions so she can afford his ashes

Now I help her fill out applications, for compensation
She ain't have insurance, yet the doctor's tried to save him
Even though they didn't, that don't change that there's a bill
I seen a momma loose her baby and her savings forreal,
That shit would make me kill

Wonder what it's like to feel that pain
I've been going through some shit
But it ain't near the same
Country going crazy over
Who gonna take the reigns
Someone without fuckin' morals
Or somebody without brains, look I'm just sayin'

Fuck the next prick that we pick
Neither of 'em ever gonna come
And step in this shit a help our city
I'm just frustrated really,
I got some more calls waiting

(Some things are outta our Control)

Whole family murdered midnight
Postpartum, the real price
For the gift of life
A Grandma calling, said she
Lost her son and her grand-baby
I already got some calls waiting

Russian family on the Southside
Starting to feel the American Dream
It ain't alive
Auntie lost her nephew in a drive-by
Family wanna know why
But police don't reply, so I got

Family's calling me to call
The cops to call back
Speaking with detectives their
Baby is a number in a stack
Says they gotta case-load
Bout a mountain high n they
Thinks it's gang activity
So they ain't gonna try

That shit blows my mind
Shooters still up out here glorified
Someone gotta stand for all these
Innocent that've died

Y'all want revolution but
Y'all ain't ever gonna do your part
Wanna change the world before
You take care of your backyard
That shit ain't hard

Wanna change the world before
You take care of your backyard
That shit ain't hard

Young girl shot she was in seventh grade
Didn't Make the News
I think the blues were playing
