Caleb Jones - For the Streets Lyrics

Oh ho, this is that 90's shit
I'm trying not to do a lot of rap songs
Because I don't want to get shot or stabbed up haha
But I gotta do something for my hood niggas, the gangstas, and the ghetto, you know
This is for the streets

Sitting in my room at night
Shots ring out, hoping I don't die
I don't hear sirens, nobody cares
That someone's kid is laying, dead

The world we live in is so shit, I'm tired of it
When will things change, the evil in people's brains
To take an innocent life, outright it's just not right, it's just not fair
To have hopes and dreams and they get taken away with just one stray, happens each day
No one does a thing, there's just no way
All this blood's been spilled for so many years, all these tears, all these tears, all these tears

I hope that one day, in my lifetime
We settle our problems, without using guns and knives
I hope that one day red and blue can come together, and stop killing each other
Over stupid colors
I hope that one day crooked cops can stop killing innocent blacks, just for them being that
I hope that one day stupid blacks will stop killing whites
Because of what the racist cop did the other night

When you turn on the news or look online what do you see
Mass shooting or police killed an innocent black kid
I'm tired of this shit, man
When is it gonna stop
That's why I don't like looking at the news like that, man
Shit is heartbreaking
Let me know when we go one year without a mass shooting
Or one year without a police killing an innocent black kid
That's when I'll look at the news again
One more thing, I don't know if you guys saw
Wait a minute, hold on stop this track stop this, stop
A few weeks ago, I would say
There was this black kid, that was shooting at white people
For being in his neighborhood
That's where we're at right now
I'm done, man
Done
