Staring at the world with a Clear View

Multiple bad dreams of a young black king 
Shot and slumped over in that all black beam.
I was only 13, Friday the 13th streets took they’re
Last breath. The whole world… hurting.
Searching for a God who would let this happen
In a wild world rapidly passing.
I could actually fathom, living like him with the fashion
My dear mama tried to keep me out that action.
I’m near the drama, never far from a casket
Will I run a ball, swing a bat, or shoot baskets?
I heard that’s my only way outta this nonsense.
I’m on a mission so I silence my conscience
I wanna get around like he did 
I wanna meet my first enemy and split his wig
Wanna smoke my first blunt, sell my first rock
Sure enough at 14, cuffed by the cops
I just thought that’s how its supposed to be just doin’ me
On the road to somewhere but where would it lead?
When its Check out time we rarely look behind.
It’s like I’m living someone else’s life, cant be mine. 

Staring at the world with a clear view 
Young John Scream for God cause He CAN hear you
You’ve been programmed to live fast so youre asking to die
See the world through the Lord’s eyes
Ill tell you why … you need t


I couldn’t hear that cross talk they say that’s white Jesus
He wouldn’t bless me even if I wiped sneezes
 I believe if..
I believe in me, my athletic ability, I can dodge any penalty
Cause it all just depends on me
My ambitions as a ridah are what America wants most
Urban legends coast to coast
City to city, hood to hood they say were no good. 
The problem is were just misunderstood
They overlook the fact were stuck with images of Amistads
And Dr. King man he tried so hard
But when you set back far and the race still starts
Playing generational catch up breaks your heart
Scraped and scared dear Mr. president Im sorry 
But my vote feels worthless you can keep that registration card
Only God can judge me 
I just wish I called Him before it got ugly.. He loves me..
