Fire in our blue sky terror over me
Everybody's to high, and not aware enough and to blind to see.
In my neighborhood today a child took a bullet down, the police and neighbors stopped and stared
All the rich folks were sleeping
and god was out of town
I believe its time to take a stand
I'm taking matters in my own hands
When nobody cares
No one understands, you got to do what you can.
Whats it all coming to?
Well its a really fine mess
Of a web we're all tangled in
We're in a few other countries
but in new orleans people drowning
Weeks and days had passed with no relief in signt
Our goverments and people stared
Brought our people Closer
God Has its ways
I guess that i just don't understand
Im taking matters in my own hands
Nobody knows nobody cares
Who gotta take a stand
Gonna try to pull you through
Well i dont know about you
But i like to walk the streets at night
Just to clear my head
Not for anything, especially not to fight
Now im carrying a piece and im looking over both of my shoulders
Take your precious time
Take our precious dime and do nothing!c
