"Warfare"

Watchout for my warfare, beware
there's war in the Middle east
But here, the war's on the streets
The heart beats cease
When bullets split hearts like meat
War on the streets
Taking lives
homicide and suicide
gang violence
gun fire breaks the silence
War on the streets
Never ending
But always beginning and never seen
They see green
but you see red when they want your bread
Bullet to your head and now you're dead
War on the streets
Living day to day
Don't know when I'll get paid
But that's just...The way it is
Since we were kids...it was hit or miss
Death's kiss taking those who are ignorant
To the street's code
War on the streets
I see blood run red
and the blood shed
From guns and bullets
Adults and kids
Victims and the murderers
My shoulder hurts
From carrying the world
of my neighborhood
Where my friends lay buried in the dirt
Victims of war on the streets
