Emotionless Race
What have we done? What have we become? Look around us each and every one. See the torment in the eyes of our loved ones. Feel the damage that our race have done.
What happen to the caring and sharing and the love? Look around us people and see what we've become. As I walk these lonely streets I see eyes that are dead inside my brothers head, an expressionless face from every race.
Children are going hungry and sleeping in the streets, homeless individuals with nothing at all to eat. My sister's standing on the corner begging for a dime. While our brothers are in the corner puffing away his life and time.
Babies are born addicted and it's no crime. Homeboy's are getting richer and its our children who are dying. Mother's and father's are crying while trying to save their son, Death and Destruction have us all on the run.
Look around us people and see what we have done. Look around us people and see what we've become.
