What Happened

I walk on the pitch thinking it gonna be the best of my life.
What happened?
I go outside not feeling welcomed   trying to hide. I'm going around the street see all this. What happened to sunshine and flowers? These people thinking, these buildings are their towers. But seriously what happened to sunshine and flowers.?
How did this all happen, when did it happen?
Thugs all around, while I'm trying to make a change. But one day while I go home hearing footsteps behind, but then suddenly everything goes black. But seriously what happened to sunshine and flowers?
I wake up not knowing what happened?
The doctor says I might not make it.
This is how I realise how important life is, don't waste it on drugs. Then growing up to be a thug.
Just do the right thing.
Stop pulling the string.
What happens to sunshine and flowers?
Just stop this and make it go away.

We Are All Equal

We are all equal
Racism is happening can you see?
Faith and kindness is all you need.
I can't stand this anymore,
We need to change something for sure.
Are you on my team?
You are the one I need.
We are all equal, aren't we?
Yes, we are, I agree

We are all equal.
Should I repeat?
We are all equal.

I see the colour of racism not every day,
but every minute
Think about other people,
Think about their life.
Think of how they are treated,
Sometimes with a knife.
Put the knife down.
Try to calm the situation.

We are all equal.
Should I repeat?
We are all EQUAL.

Life is a gift

There are ups and downs like a lift
Some are treated differently because of their skin
Racism is a sin
In the distance you hear shooting...
And people screaming...
Flash lights beaming...
Life is a gift...

Take a Look

Look at the world
One comes and one goes
Look at life
It fades away
Some people don't know what to say
Look at someone
Give them a smile
Look at the streets
People are getting the beats
Look at people
Holding knifes
