YOWO - My brother

 

   BROTHER ! i said brother , why must you steal, kill , and rape our sisters.

brother, i said brother why can't you take care of your kids and be a good man.

brother oh brother, i wonder why you have a hard time doing right but yet find it so easy to

sit on the corner and chief reefer nor can you be a real man either.

you give your other brothers a bad name, unwanted stares , false sterotypes because you lack good

sense.  "Oh brother , here comes the nergo again" see they have us labeled because of the things y'all

do brothers. The affect you have on our community is more then you know brother. when i say "our community"

i mean the people of color, we fought so hard for freedom but you enslaves us again with ignorances.

my brothers you drop out of school, you beat your women, and abandon your responsibilites.

You have to do better , stop turning weapons towards your brothers, and don't be quick to pick red or blue .

my brother you have to educate and protect yourself. Less hands and more words. my brother 

stop diggin yourself deeper into the predug grave that was given to us , be better my brother,

be stronger, be smarter , be violence free my brother.
