Time for a change is long overdue
Especially for the blacks screaming like that
THIS IS FOR YOU
All of the envy & jealousy that you take your own people through
Then up in church speaking in tongues
Are you speaking of what
With a cold heart like yours
Where is the warmth within you
Then you don't understand why your kids
Commit
Black on Black crime
They SEE YOU
Act it out in MIME
Each good friend you get
You stab in the back
You think
Your kids don't see that
You down your relatives when they buy something new
When you bought new
The same relatives
Praised you
WHEN YOU STOP ACTING LIKE MIME
YOUR KIDS WILL MIMIC YOU
AND LEAVE ALONE
THAT
BLACK ON BLACK CRIME
