Jordan

Continue to pour my thoughts out on this topic of discussion

Slow down, I keep gettin the feeling that I’m rushin

Like my cousin’s dying breaths, or the decision that was made

But lemme backtrack, letting feelings get in the way

A normal adolescent, aspiring for the highest

Goals that were attainable, wanted to be the flyest

We all searchin for something we’ve made a pact to do

The drive of ambition, it’s in us, it’s in you

Now snatch every dream that a mother had for her son

And replace that with a breath, “Baby, just take another one!”

A white man’s gun, the very courier of evil

He left, enjoyed his night, but the gunshots were lethal

Deceitful, everything we’ve been told from the start

We’ve more than just some ghetto thugs, these thoughts split us

apart

What you must understand is our culture bore from oppression

The Hip Hop inside of us a form of expression

I wish I had the chance to explain to Jordan’s killer

That the song “Beef” by Lil Reese shouldn’t label him a dealer

Or is he ignorant or another ghetto thug?

Do you understand that your ignorance filled him with 3 slugs?

I don’t want sympathy and I don’t want affection

I want this country to head in the right direction

Instead of discussin who the Grammys should be awardin

Work to prevent murders like those of my cousin, Jordan.
