More shows. More flows. Nooooooooooooooo rapping. I'm not a rapper.

Because I perform what I write.

They're killing us. You went to sleep last night watching the news, you saw your brother sprawled out on the asphalt dressed in bullet wounds They're killing us. He was coming home from practice crossed the street it was that time of day when a long stare knocked him off balance They're killing us. He was unjustly interrogated, responded in kind looked them dead in the eye "I don't bang" he replied They're killing us. He saw the numbers growing he reasoned that if he could out run the fastest one he'd survive that's when the first bullet landed in his thigh. They're killing us. You went to sleep last night watching the news, you saw your brother sprawled out on the asphalt dressed in bullet wounds They're killing us. You woke up watching the news, you saw your sisters body defiled skin blurred clothes not too far in a urine soaked pile They're killing us. She was on her way to see your parents when they approached her, the time of day when everyone should look over their shoulder They're killing us. She felt the immoral intentions before their first sentence, she said a prayer in silence for numbness to be stronger than the violence They're killing us. She resolved to not tussle in hopes that the time spent wouldn't double, they kicked, hit, and penetrated roughly looking for struggle They're killing us. You went to sleep last night watching the news, you saw your brother sprawled out on the asphalt dressed in bullet wounds. You woke up watching the news, you saw your sisters body defiled skin blurred clothes not too far in a urine soaked pile. They're killing us. At lunch you watched the news, you saw your mother on a gurney sheet covering her body 60 something years old at the end of her journey They're killing us. She was grocery shopping when they spotted her, waited outside till she got to the car and that's when they got at her They're killing us. She begged and pleaded she called on Jesus, she told them they were throwing their lives away but her advice they didn't heed it They're killing us. They wanted her car she wanted their heart she struggled out of love until she was betrayed by her heart They're killing us.

You woke up watching the news, you saw your sisters body defiled skin blurred clothes not too far in a urine soaked pile. At lunch you watched the news, you saw your mother on a gurney sheet covering her body 60 something years old at the end of her journey. They're killing us. At dinner you watched the news, you saw your fathers body slumped over in his car, 3 blocks from the house he didn't get far They're killing us. Party lights behind him he pulled over, they approached on both sides looking to control him They're killing us. Beer on his breath he was nervous at best, handing over his credentials as his Heart jumps out his chest They're killing us. They ask him where he's going? Who he's going to see? How long he's gonna be? They ask him to keep his hands on the steering wheel. "They are" he mumbled. They're killing us. Don't be disrespectful they advise, seeing the angst in their eyes his phone rang. "Reach for it and die" he heard. They're killing us.

At dinner you watched the news, you saw your fathers body slumped over in his car, 3 blocks from the house he didn't get far. They're killing us. You sipped your tea. You ate your dinner They're killing us. Man killed while watching the news as intruders enter home subtly. He eats dinner not noticing the villains stealing the valuables he holds most dear. They're killing you. Sipping his nightly after dinner tea he saw his home on the news They're killing you. Putting his cup down when he sees the back of his head on the screen They're killing you. As he stands up to figure out how this is possible he turns around only to be face to face with what looks like a camera They're killing you. Hearing only the snap and seeing only the flash this evenings news was his last. They're killing us. They're killing us. They're killing us. They're killing us. They've killed us.
