While I lay asleep not saying a peep
an angel creeped into my window whispered in a voice of one my long dead kinfolks
She spoke to me softly," Baby, U can't save the world."
Can't save the babygirls of the world 2 shower them with diamonds and pearls or maybe thats the problem cause i ain't rich
so we'll celebrate them by calling them the name BITCH and be at an eternal war of words
Instead of singin songs, we'll sing songs of automatic gunfire, constanly calling our fellow brothers liars and die trying 2 step over the next man just 2 reach the top
So I said," When will this madness stop?"
She just looked at me with eyes that have seen the death of a billion stars
as if she were analyzing my scars, reminding that I'm never 2 far from my own judgement
she's heavensent
and sometimes I feel like i should b complacent, but i can't
she holds my hand like my mom and says,"Baby U can't save this world."
If Martin had a dream then why can't we b in the places that we need 2 b because if God calls me then i'll b in a good position, tired of hoping and wishing for niggaz 2 stop pissing in the same water that we often drink from cause society calls us dumb, and people believe we'll kill ourselves before somebody else will
we kill for sport
we kill because patience is short and its pretty much the easy thing 2 do
we call ourselves easy,greasy,and shifty
and why does that piss me off more than the next man from the next clan because in some way, some how WE R ALL CONNECTED
so I begin 2 check shit and pretty much apologize for my course words
not like she hasn't heard the words...
she was probably there they were conceived
She stares at me with loving eyes that smile like the sun and yet they cry
She says,"Baby U can't save the world."
But I reply," Yeah momma, I know, but why can't I try?"
