"YOUNG BROTHER"

Young brothers

Listen 2 dis!

Competition can't get away from my grip

My brains n wits fully equipped

I'm a Jersey dude

Came from da bricks

In da hood

Situations occur

When I talk 

I don't stutter or slurrr

1st time around 

I'm makin' my point

Ain't nothin' cool about being shot or thrown in da joint

Now-a-dayz 

Da shooterz getz less respect

Really?

How did dat take effect?

Cats runnin' around disguised

Posin' as friendz

Hopin dat u finally bend

Winded n broke

Mind Soak!

Every word dat I wrote

People whole existence is gone

Across da board

We similar 2 a pawn

You can blame Shawn!

But I invent how da vision was drawn

Get ya soul ripped quick n it's torn

Memories linger!

Rhymes pierce you like dem bullets went into stringer

I see cats twistin' n pointin' dey fingerz

But da politic's of da game can only divide us

Forget bein' a rhyda!

I'm tryna 

UPLIFT!

Give deez brotha's hope instead of slittin' dey wrists

Trapped in a cell n need permission 2 pis

Where I'm from! 

EVERYTHING iz a RISK! 

Shit!! 

Gamma rays altered my stage

Argumentz wit my spouse 

Yo! I been through dat phase

Smoke ashes flicked in da tray

UP Nightz,

Writin' til my conscience DECAY!

Gotta EARN n GAIN MY RESPECT! 4 me 2 OBEY!

Lived through da 80's era back in da day

When everybody n dey momz thought crack was da way

But it led us astray

Families fell apart, caved in like a roof

Now we dealin wit da offsprings dat dey produced

Itz worse now, itz not gettin' no better

Smh 

SAD!

Still da main focus is chedda'

I thought about writin' our President a Letter

But he got enough on his plate

Especially wit ALL da RACISM n HATE!

On ya journey 

Ties severed by Death!

Some went as far as dey could

Didn't have anything left

Nonetheless, 

You gotta Progress

Many Slept! 

Switch up ya thoughts

If nothin' else 

BELIEVE IN YA SELF!

RESEARCH it ya self! 

Knowledge hidden under da cover

Young Brother!
