Subject: Gained Material and Lost Values
Content: Gained materials and lost values We value cars more than sons and clothes more than daughters We devalue morals, placing them in the category of least important And when they flash that screen everybody’s up close attention fully paid to the jaws of confusion using us as the gas to fuel them those outlets pose more of a threat to us than ever did some music We value guns more than family and gold more than humanity We devalue legacy we leave behind red trails, sweat, and tears in the community and when they blast through the waves the perpetual motion of stereotypes We promote competition but call it “beef” We promote dysfunctional families but call it “drama” We value fame over honor and ego over karma We value vice more than virtue But time is money and we ain’t giving up a dime, right So in the meantime while the time is not cooperating We are stagnated searching for the gas to fuel us but we’ve been siphoned out of even the fumes that would lead us to the station of moral salvation instead we are driven by the few to the situation room of nothing new It ain’t no new thing Black man shot down 50 bullets sound and they blame 50 making the crime go round It ain’t no new thing They blame music for keeping the crime on the block in Texas a cop got shot and they blamed Tupac It ain’t no new thing it’s just more of the same in different ways Indeed we got some things to straighten out amongst ourselves like valuing sons more than cars and daughters more than clothes like re-evaluating our morals, placing them in the category of most important like valuing family more than guns and humanity more than gold by re-evaluating our view on legacy and the greatness which we hold Where we came from is certainly not where we are going times change and with time we adapt but f*&$ that some things gotta be maintained that tradition of progressing through the pain that mission to raise these kids so they don’t breed the same that perseverance through the pressure that tried to put us to shame rise as a flame ignited by the passion for change when we lose materials and values are gained.
