Thunder

"THUNDER"

I hear rumbling
Da sounds of thunder
NO RAIN!
Jus' sprinkles of gun powder
Now da lifeless achieves freedom
Livin' in struggle can't free him
Now comes da rain!
Not from da sky
But from da eyes of loved ones
It's pourin'
Forever cloudy days
NO SUN!
For da block he took one
Circumstances of da ghetto
Made him a victim
Time will pass by
And no-one will remember him
To American's government
He is jus' another dead one
NewTown - Sandy Hook
Little dead White ones
Caused an uproar against guns
From da streets of LA to Chicago
Young minorities die everyday
But no uproar against guns
It seems when White people die
Da world cries
When minorities die
It's pushed aside
No uproar over our tragedies
No-one talks about get'n rid of artilleries
I guess guns in our hands
Means money in their hands
It gives them a reason
A reason to raid our communities
Build more prisons
All of them in little White counties
Creates for them more financial opportunities
Inside they overcharge fo' commissary
Fo' them it's a get-rich system
Within their hands is an invisible gun
Pickin' us off one by one
All fo' da love of funds
But we can't see it
Cuz we're too dumb!
So it still rumbles
Da sounds of thunder
when will it stop
I wonder?
