"messagez"
  by A.K.Aking/anti cocky


I've given alot of tought to da battlez bein fought/
n i wunda to maself wut younga kids are bein taught/
We spit hate n yet dun wanna read wut we create/
We create a society dat embodies da hate trait/
T.V. depicts gangstaz n shootin n violence/
Da parents let dem watch it, n sit watchin in silence/
Wut do we say wen we encourage dese acts?/
We dun teach facts, we teach em how to attack/
How to react wen someone talks back/
To car jack, how to buy drugs n smoke crack/
We lack values in our lyrics, i will say it again/
Dey encourage da gangsta life, but wen do it end?/
"Our kids need to shoot niggas dat always talk shit/
As long as dey won, who cares wut crime dey commit/
If he talkin smack just hit is ass wid a bat/
If he keeps talkin shit put a bullet in hiz back"/
Der idolz smoke, snort, n shoot up drugz/
It glorifies life on da streets, n life az a thug/
We write bout dis n give it so much glory/
Sittin behind bars fa life ain't much of a story/
Dey can grow up n run companies, even if dey aint smart/
Is dey only options to sell drugs or work at walmart?/
We might write dese verses just in passing/
But da messagez we send is long-lasting/
You dun kno it but yo younga siblings wanna be you/
Dey look up to you, dey think "dats wut i wanna be too"/
Your dey hero whether you realize it a not/
Do you want dem growin up - only to get shot?/
Da kid writes raps too, cuz "dats wat big bro do"/
Dey write bout gangstaz instead a winnie da pooh/
We write verses without knowin who gettin offended/
Younga kids wit confused minds get apprehended/
It appears dat wat we write is heard by deaf ears/
But dey hear...... n it hangs wit dem fa years/
High speed chase endin a dead body in a case/
A violent life ends wit a mothers tears runnin down ha face/
We need to change dis game, change it's name/
Make da world proud of wat it's became/
We write bullshit verses dat dont do nothin/
We need to teach our children to pursue somethin/
To do somethin, we as a whole need to undo somethin/
Stop teachin our boys dat dey need to screw somethin/
Teach em to go out n learn, so dey can say dey KNOW sumthin/
Make dey mom n dad proud dey turned into somethin/
So i ask again wut message are we sendin?/
Is society wrapped around all of us contendin?/
I fear dis will go on until our time here is endin/
Da decision on all of dat .........still pending.........







its too late fa me....i grew up dis way
