RUTHLESS

the go and flow catch the ear
but the pain and condemnation of the words i find
is it as the enemy uses masks
the beat is used
and embedded are the words in the creases of the brain
these words i find i am speaking, but doing it i wish not
they damn
they condemn
burning the soul they do as their task
but those whose souls are scortched already
cannot see the reality of these
with the same beat, i apply flow of positive status
instead of ridicule going, it is coming
set they are in their ways
hatred, drugs, sex, gangs, crime, death
advertised it is, like a billboard for all to see
the words fascinate
for it takes simplicity to satisfy simple minds
a continuous 45
the beat is a montonous shot with little varying
war it calls
with the backup of repeating words of condemnation
and persecution
the record is skipping
as it is harshly loud for all to hear
take back our youth
for this is their parents and teachers no longer
