I Miss U

I saw you stumble into your mothers arms

Light up the room with a laugh and no harm

Cuz of you someone had the greatest day of their life

Cuz of losing you someone took their own life

You giggled she laughed

You wiggled he danced

Fuck why would you give someone the greatest treasure of them all

And then take it away

For every one of the fallen I fall to my knees and pray

You ever looked into the eyes of innocence

And realized that ur just a shell that's full of sins

I wanna fight for the future

Call me a soldier

For every hand that fits in my palm

I hope it grows in a world that's calm

In a world that favors education over violence

Nipsey I got your back that's a promise, honest

 

Help us!

They scream

I extend my hand out to them

Help us! They scream again

As they fall into the darkness

Never to be found in the end

Why do u take them away?

They havent even had a chance to experience their best day

a chance to live their own way

You up there! What do you have to say?

 

Crying

Smiling

Laughing

Screaming

Shooting

Bombing

Killing

Dying

 

The first four are a part of life

The next four make me ashamed to be alive

The onus is on us to try and keep our promise

Try to shield them from the heartless and the darkness

To protect our children no matter where they are

Be it in NYC or the middle of Qatar

A life is a life be it near or far

Its 10 o'clock do you know where ur children are?

It begins with the parent

They're ur heir apparent

They're an extension of urself

So show them the love they deserve

They're under your protection from the moment of birth

Next it's on every community to make the future a priority

Understand that every child should have protection

Cuz it's only when we communicate as a unit that we can claim unity

 

Help us!

They scream

I extend my hand out to them

Help us! They scream again

As they fall into the darkness

Never to be found in the end

Why do u take them away?

They havent even had a chance to experience their best day

a chance to live their own way

You up there! What do you have to say?

 

Selfish

Greedy

Hellish

Angry

Helping

Togetherness

Family

Forever yes?

 

I feel a tug on my tshirt

When I have little ones I'll understand their worth

Why cant all us adults get the anger out of our eyes

Look into a childs and remember what life was like

Before all the hatred

When all you cared about was ur teddy named Mike

Looking out for the future is a thing of the past

That a childs death doesnt affect us is sad

Now is the time to all hold hands

Sing a song and make our demands

That no more kids die on our watch

That in a way this is all of our faults

And maybe we change

 

Help us!

They scream

We extend our hands out to them

Help us! They scream again

As we lift them from the darkness

Hold them in our arms for a happy end

Now they get a chance to experience their best day

a chance to live their own way

You up there! What do you have to say?

 

To every kid that died too early. I miss u
