Man Up...

TITLED: MAN UP...

I agree that black lives matter
but in the black community ,really, do black lives matter
see,it's the black youth that's killin black youth at alarming rates
is this a product of self hate
it's not to negate what the police done or did
they gunned TAMIR RICE down and he was just a kid
and still ain't no justice
it's just us veiwing his momma tears
they gave a 19yr old - 30 plus years when he shot and killed a 5yr old kid
now,we can agree that's justice
but it's still just us losin black lives that matter and ever so precious
and can't nobody explain the pain felt by these mothers
yea,the community suffers 
but who bears the weight of the burden more than these mothers
somebody gotta stand up
don't shoot "please " my hands up
it's time for these dudes in the streets or in jail to man up
see,the plan for us is death or incarceration
which put our kids at a disadvantage with everything they're faced wit
life's throwin-em curve balls and we ain't there to play catch wit-em
all they know is swing for the fences
and guns is what they swing wit
it's evident they need our presence they're lost without us
think about it ,we're their father figures, heroes and role models
they wouldn't be in this world without us 
so how could you not see the path they're on and try not to re-route it
I know... taking responsibility is hard pill to swallow
but it's just a small price to pay for a better tomorrow...
