Let's get it
Back on it like clockwork
How much is your block worth
When you call it home
But that's in the past now
Last time I went back
Ain't no reason for you to roam
Spirits are broken
All the family killed
And the kids growing up alone
This serves as a memoir
By the time you hear this
I'll prolly be dead and gone
I've traveled beyond now
Yeah
I traveled my own route
Could have stayed where there's no doubt
But I hate thinking I could be safe
While others are killed fighting wars but these our bouts
For independence we need closure
Detriments we been seen as irrelevant
And only hit to hit quotas
Precedents I've seen at my disposal
Calculated death could be an instigator
Chose to fight on the lone road
Rather face regret than live in sorrow
Rest in peace Malak she was a toddler
Rest in peace to Assem and Fathi
Prisoners till they martyred
Definition death before dishonor
Could have worked for defense companies
Making guns and the missiles
Could have served as the voice that we needed
Instead I picked up the pistol
Looking deeper into my reflection
See the damage failed to prevent
I strived for something couldn't hit perfection
Promise I ain't had no bad intentions
This what happens when you trapped in a corner
As foreseen my efforts weak
It takes a village to enact new reform
And during my fight for freedom
It became a one-way trip to the coroner
I deserve to be scorned
Well if there were no swords and no guns in the room
You could still talk
Talk about what?
Talk about the possibility of not fighting
Not fighting for what?
Not fighting at all, no matter what for
