God is needed in the hood
God come to the hood. Where my people are misunderstood.
The children of the hood need you.
You understand their fight. You gave them life. You made them in your image. You don’t make mistakes. Young lives are at stake.
They brought drugs to the hood.
My people are enslaved by addiction.
Living in so much affliction .
Break the chains of addiction and replace them with job training and education.
Replace police brutality with cultural sensitivity. Giving black and brown lives a chance at longevity.
Bring parenting skills to young parents. We need to save the next generation. Bringing the family unit a new found rejuvenation.
What’s happening to this generation? We bring guns to school and forget the need of a quality education.
We removed God from schools and brought guns instead. How will we educate the future leaders of this world? Guns instead of books? Save my people in the hood.
