Oh Baltimore
Oh brother, my brother
Be safe.
Always be in the right place
At the right time
Make one wrong move
And it might be your last time.
Be cautious of every step you take
And every move you make.
Watch your back
And always be prepared for an attack
‘Cuz death don’t take no breaks
And ain’t no pain stronger the heartbreak
That occurs when a mother has lost her son
And knowing that this war has just begun
I tell my brother to
Be patient,
Wait for the right words to day
And the right way to say them
Make sure to be kind
And always keep in mind
That your life will always be on the line
Because they’ll waste no time making an example out of you.
So oh brother, my brother
Beware,
For your innocence will always be guilty of something.
Your silence is important,
Your words are powerful.
So be careful...
