Do you have what it really takes to take another man’s life?
Or do you just pull the tool
Because you think it’s cool
To wave a gun around at a fist fight
One thing you’ve got to realize
Is that whoever told you it was cool told you real lies
Accidents happen but unlike Grand theft auto, you don’t get two tries
But instead of getting wise
You choose to be young & thuggin
That’s why ya mom cries every single time yall huggin
But it don’t phase you
You just doing what you got to do
Or so you say
Feeling like you got everything to prove and nothing to lose at the end of the day
Which is why we are where we are now
You standing alone looking at the gun wondering how
Everybody running except the one teenage girl who got hit
People screaming, & the sirens coming got your head feeling like it’s about to split
Fighting in the party and you thought it’d be okay to take it to the next level
You figured they’d all take off once you flashed a little piece of metal
But they didn’t
They didn’t budge they just stood there waiting to see what you really about
You weren’t thinking, regretted it immediately but the bullet was already in route
He ducked and baby girl running to her car took it to the head
And from the way her body hit the ground you knew she was dead
Now everyone’s gone
And you're left standing all alone
To in shock to try and run
So you just stand frozen in fear until they all yelling for you to drop your gun
99 to life or basically death in jail
Another young gangster confined to a jail cell
Young and thuggin
No
More like young and dumb

- Comment from author about the poem: Written really rough with some slang intentionally to create the real and accurate feelings involved in this sad but true story that I hate to tell. These types of things happen everyday.....

Done a few like this, can never be said enough!
Much respect.
I thought that the games & toys made it worse but if that's all there was then would we actually have to face those demons.
Thank you for reading and true this message never gets old because unfortunately the problem never grows smaller.
Yep... You've got some serious skill...
