"Newton's First Law"

Newton's First Law clearly states
What's in motion
Stays in motion until a force stops it
So until we learn how to be that full force
Stand as one
We will continue to fall
One by One
Man by another Man's hands
Hate because of the color of my skin
Stereotyping because of the zip code I live in
Newton clearly states, what's in motion
Stays in motion until a force stops it
So until we learn how to be the bigger person
Turn the other cheek
Or just walk away
We will continue to fall into these graves
"With our names on them"
A bullet for a bullet
Body for a body
You bust one, I bust three
You took one life from him
He's out to get your whole team
What's in motion stays in motion
Nowadays' their pants getting lower right along with their IQ's
They role models didn't even finish high school
Those are the types of people they look to
The ignorant IS LABLED as the "Wise"
The young is led by the dumb
They're trying tote a gun in their Pull-Ups
Milk behind their ears
Still sleeping with the a nitelite at the edge of their bed
Still think the Boogey Monster hidden in their closet, messin' with their head
It clearly states what's in motion stays in motion
Husband beats wife in front of kids
Son does the same thing too
But daughter they only one who
Comes home with bruise from another dude
Every time a bullet flies, a body drops one or two
But it might not be who they wanted to
And the cycle continues
Until a force stops it
I'm not asking for one human being to end world hunger within one day
It took them centuries to build the Great Chinese Wall
To stand that way and it still stands to this day
I want my words to be the fluid that sits inside that lighter
That will help enlighten the mind of the next fighter
THE NEXT WRITER, THE NEXT KING TO TELL US ABOUT HIS OR HER DREAM
I want my words to be the cause of your high
Be that drug that influences you to do more than just to let time pass by
Until a force stops it.
THIS HAS TO STOP
FOR THIS TO STOP WE HAVE TO BE THE ONES TO STOP IT
BE THE ONES TO ADMIT TO IT
BE THE ONES TO FIX IT
SO UNTIL WE ALL GET IT
WE WILL CONTINUE TO FALL IN IT
Newton's First Law clearly states what's in motion
Stays in motion until a force stops it.
