Once Upon A Time...

Once upon a time,
That’s just it there is no once upon a time only life upon a dime
Life taken by a crime with a gun that shines
And bullets that travel faster than electrons doing the electric slide

There are no such things as fairy tales
Only jail cells and jail bails
Only cops chasing after a black guy talking about
He killed a lot of people like the lady from kill bill

Magic does not exist
Only the illusion of someone doing it in front of our eyes
Blink and another soul dies
Babies cry
And the boy that's lost and whines for his mother to come find him in time

Because the father isn't there
And he isn't over here
Probably caught up in the middle

Trying to figure out what’s right and wrong
From smoking a cigarette to listening to his baby girl perform her first song
Then taken a drink becuase he isn’t have a job in so long

There cant be a happy ever after
When we’re still in the present and cant get past the factor
Kids dying everyday like its a game to master
Like it’s a trending item
Give it to som1 for Christmas in a death skull wrapper

It’s funny to see people sit and complain
When no one is doing anything to make a change
They jus sit back and smoke
Chill and talk slang
And if it isn’t that its wars between gangs

They don’t realize the corruption the Gov. have brought us
The pain and lies among us
Because their all too scared to open their eyes and see whats been taken from us

Its funny ho we got rights
Yet we're not treated right
They keep us in the dark and away from the light
Because once we get that little flash of hope
We might and try and fight

And they know if we fight we might succeed
We need som1 to plant t hat seed
Some1 to come out and reach
For us
As a whole, as a family
I mean

I cud go out and say something but no one's going to listen
If I scream yell
Even if I start flipping
Because all the people see in me
Is an annoying little teen trying to make a difference
