DEFENDER'S RAP

• Brotha kneeling down in front of a grave, trying to be brave what else to say?
• I'm dealing with demons in my space, vying for ways to get the soul today,
• Feeling of sadness on me like a cold wave, my fingers numb like it was D-Day,
• Seeing the madness got the mind in a slow pace, a tear down my face?, no way,
• see I'm silent cause i can't believe, that bro got gunned down over some weed,
• 'Twas easy how they tried to deceive, the heart was stunned at home when I read,
• about it, said it was a sting now he's deceased, gun fight in the street,
• doubt it was clean, facts they wanted to delete, but fam connected the threads,
• How it happened, was that feds pulled up, no suits in unmarked cars,
• Now it's rational, to be tense, look up, see dudes and be paused,
• Not radical when, senses told him to book it at any cost,
• No tactical retreat, since he's shooked up surrounded in the dark,
• shots rang out when he rammed out, no return fire, but cops still bang out,
• city lash out, planned out, protests to get the liars the dang out,
• dash out? nah Mom tells me to get my paper, education not cheap
• "You can yell and advocate later, please just avoid the heat,
• Do not sell the path that leads to greater, chances for a seat,
• at the table," but now my heart not stable, feelin like a traitor
• so I drink cause it is too painful, and blackout around the neighbors,
• they don't understand that being on the sideline eats me up inside,
• Soul saying follow the guidelines, but to get freedom is do or die,
• contradictory got me on the borderline, and I can't choose a side,
• Feeling like a trapped black panther in the soul stone,
• Or tapped out like Tyrion watching the iron throne,
• Then one day I ran into ol' girl Lauryn one morning, I'm dressed
• in full black, way i was walking she knew I was mourning, she pressed
• And she reintroduced the black liquid now I'm soaring, and now I'm
• acting a fool in the streets warning, that we're in a system
• drunk to pain we're normin, it's sick but we don't notice the symptom
• pouring, out of the pictures of every victim haunting,
• But I'm sober now on the pad with the piece of wisdom,
• Content, on a mission for the Kingeom....No justice no peace
