On the Rise!

From Write or Die by Byron Wilson (author's profile)

On The Rise!

Niggaz and Numberz
2 on my left, 3 more on my right
I am America'z most hunted
and the numberz don't lie.

Good kid, mad city
Hater of hatred
Despiser of pity

Save the children
Abandon the youth
Worthless to millions
generator of billions for you

Who did it?
It was number 3, yeah?
Take your time, you'll get it,
You're doing the right thing, see? Yeah?

Now just tell the jury,
it was nigga number 3, wasn't it?
Tell 'em about his rage and fury
IT was him at the defendant table, wasn't it?

Everybody fears me,
Nobody hears me
Not even innocence can clear me
Nothing is ever it appears to me

Lookin' at this picture
as if this is a self-inflected numb
I'm an American fixture
Born and raised and gloomed for doom

You are sadly mistaken
Take a real good look into my eyes
I am the New Generation of the awakened
and me and my niggaz are on the rise!
