Love Lost

Love lost in so many places
People rejected cause of different races
Silent because you're scared to be heard
Not sure if your voice counts,
so you choose for your opponent to speak first.

Love lost in so many places
Gave up on your dreams 
because the closess people to you hated.
Now you searching in the world
for your confidence and pride
but the world destroyed you and 
only made it easier for you to die.

Love lost in so many places
Girls choose to sleep around because
thats how they think they gonna make it.
Momma never home, and Daddy aint around
only gave that strange man a reason to
sex her and keep her bound.

Love lost in so many places
Rather kill before some other negro choose to take it.
Hustling just to get everything you got
but than you got greedy,
so you decided to go eat out of another man's pot.

Love lost in so many places
Babies having babies and
the system just up and take em.
Fighting just to be the mother society pressured you to be
Now your child moving home to home
Looking for you, asking: "Why me"?

Love lost in so many places
Too many places but people seem to choose to erase it
But the only thing about these places,
they never dissaper
Why you think 99.9% of people in the world
Is living with the spirit of fear.

"Love Lost"
