ty law - darker tomorrow lyrics

[verse 1: ty law]
and i really cannot ignore the pain
that i feel when i witness a kid with a pistol
like, “i’ll let my forty bang!”
and we listen indifferently
like inner cities don’t really got warring gangs
that’ll take in a youth and then make him a shooter
before twenty-four he’s slain
envision the kids in the city
that deal with all the hazard, living all the havoc
rolling with the semiautomatics
hitting on the avenues
they really going savage, never thought about it
cause they listening to all the rappers
and they taught em’ that it’s cool
and everybody wanna pose in the videos
with the pistols like it’s dope
like bullets don’t rip souls outta bodies
folding on the ground like origami
another young one down with another homi
another burial ground with another mommy
who just lost her son to another shotty
and she talking to god like, “you shoulda got me,” yeah
picture a little youth in poverty
who feels invisible like, “everybody forgotten me
i go to school and they ain’t teaching me properly
and outside all the gangs own all the property
and cops don’t care, they only thinking bout locking me
so all i’m really thinking bout is hitting the lottery
and escaping by getting payment,”
but they say if you wanna make it you gotta play this
game daily and be a gangster, slinging the cane and
aiming and banging with the flamers at other gangsters
they tell him it’s a code, you gotta obey it
but they don’t tell him that no one really will save him
when bullet holes rip his clothes and it’s getting cold
cause he’s gon’ die on a road he could’ve evaded
and i’m going bonkers, man look at the parts of chicago
where people are tossing the hollows
so often that people just call it chiraq
but we got all those artists that wanna just talk up the motto
that honor’s about who’s the hardest
they lock, load and slaughter on records and all the youth follow
and target each other and march into coffins
and this can only make a darker tomorrow
