Before & After

Before 9/11...

The good die young,
and the old die swift.
Nobody wanna die,
but how everybody gonna live.
The earth resources,
is getting drained by mankind.
Animals getting pushed out of they homes,
and they body parts getting sold for a dime.
We wasting resources,
just to feed our wants.
Wasting precious lives,
just for gold watches and fronts.
Niggaz die everyday,
from stupid shit like that.
Then complain about racial profiling,
when they the reason why we got shit like that.
Its ashamed good honest niggaz,
gotta take the fall for their brothers.
Why sisters cry all day,
on the arms of they mothers.
You can't change niggaz nature,
just like you can't change the hate in they hearts.
Only got love for doe,
and don't got no love for the narc's.
The narc's doin they job,
money its you in the wrong.
You the bad guy,
not them cops who put them cuffs on your arm.
How we gone start a war against terrorism,
when we can't end the war on the streets.
Only time the white man give a damn,
is when one of his collegues deceased.
Its a crying shame,
that it had to come to come this.
All of the things that we treasure,
some of our family members have come to miss.
In 1 second a friend,
can turn to a thought.
A memory in your mind,
or that special place in your heart.
Its sad to see death,
strike so many lives at once.
I been watching CNN all day,
and ain't blinked my eyes but once.
I know that my days on earth is numbered,
cause evil is concurring good.
Everybody who doing right,
is either wrong or misunderstood.

....After the 9/11

Just the other day,
I predicted the end of our days.
By the end of today,
I hope America will bring a end to their ways.
The country is at a a standstill,
all its people in shock.
The Pentagon is on fire,
while the world trade is reduced to rubble and rocks.
Everybody wants revenge,
and for our armed forces to act.
For them cowards who declared war,
and claimed responsibility for these vicious attacks.
The government has failed its people,
and let such a tragedy to occur.
It took thousands of people to lose their lives,
for these terrorist acts to deter.
Fagot ass middle east extremist,
wanna die for they cause.
Kill they ownself wit a hundered people,
and claim they die for they lord.
Fuck who responsible,
we need to murder them all.
Thou shalt not kill,
them cowards don't follow that law.
Rules of Engagment,
now the ball in our court.
Fuck diplomacy,
We going to war over pork.
Smack them yellow basterds,
and give them a sheet to cover they face.
I don't care if ya'll sorry,
we gone bring bombs to ya place.
Kill women and kids,
vietnam won't even compare.
Hold everybody responsible,
The US ain't playing it fair.
Niggaz gone know again,who hold the big balls in the west.
Hunt down all them monkeys,
and burn a cross in they chest.
Nobody warned us ahead of time,
that must mean that they had a hand in it.
Afghanistan harbor terrorist,
but claim they ain't have a hand in it.
We need to come together,
and stop being tight on the our treaure.
We waste money for stupid stuff,
but tight when it comes to secuirty measures.
I look at all of these horrific pictures,
wondering how many lives been lost.
We might get the last laugh,
But look at how many lives it cost.
How many mothers dead,
and fathers is missing.
Dreams turned into nightmares,
the dust has blinded our visions.
When its clear,
its going to on for real.
When we get to the bottom,
World War III is going to be on for real.
