Yo, my babies having babies
Young and naive they have no daddies
Brotha don' hit and quit their panties
Using their mamas as their nannies
And they still get another chance to act fast and fancy
Madness!!!!!!

The government got money for an unwanted war
But they don't have enough money for welfare
Warfare
For my brothas to go over there
And kill and get killed in army gear
Comin' back with depression and about stuff over there
Bringing back a shell of a family member here
But they look at us and say "Do I care?"
Madness!!!!!

Lady moved to Atlanta about a year ago
Got locked up cause her 3 year old baby died of a heat stoke
Put her in her car because she had none to take care of her, now
they want to get her lots of time or death row
When just a month ago
A lady was brought up on charges for letting her husband moless her 12 year old
Bless her soul
Get this, her husband was brought up on charges a year before
Because they had evidence on this negro
Yet, the mama still let him live with them mo'
She's the one that deserves mo'
Mo' time that is, fo' her po' judgment yo
Madness!!!!!!!!!!

Malcolm X's birthday just passed and I look at my peers
And they say they don't care
It's not fair
For my people to not be aware
That this is the 50th anniversary of the Brown vs. Education case and the mere
fact they don't care
Gets me in a bunch here
Cause they don't realize without this case there would be no education like here
There would be no good books, no computers, no new desks over there
And they don't care?
I can only sit and stare
At the passing people that did not celebrate this day with fresh gear
Nor, do they care that the marvelous Malcolm X's b-day that passed us near
I'm bare
And with a tear
That they wouldn't even care
Madness!!!!!!!

I had a teacher come up to me the other day
She said, "Stand for something or you're fall for anything one day."
I said hey
If I do I do, but if I don't I don't, I'll still get my pay
Who's to say
What I stand for you will approve of and what you stand for I will approve of, say?
I live each day
Living life the best way
I see fit and today
You come to me saying it's not okay
Hey, I'm alive today
And that is all I need to say
She replied by saying, "You'll see."
It wasn't until today that I actually seen it
Madness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hypocrites walk among us daily
They talk behind our back and walk among us boldly
Sayin' I'm a democrat yet vote republican at the poles quickly
"I don't like her" yet you all at the club with her nicely
Hypocrites all in front of me
I believe in saying what you see
And whether you think I'm ugly
Or pretty
Be a real man or woman and tell me
Happily
No disrespect if you fall in this category
Just be real with me
Don't show hypocrisy
Madness!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When the bad times come so many of my people just give up
They want to just stop when they **** up
But they don't realize that god will always lift them up
The pride and pace will soon erupt
And although a black man or woman ****** up
That will all be fine at the end of the day
Madness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The school system is a mess
And I must confess
That this
Is not right, just a pest
Child molesters, rapist, strippers what else
Teaching but got another life way above us
Riders for learning yet they neglect us
Got a teacher that did it with a 16 year old without fuss
Got discovered and cops came up with a bust
Back in school a week later right by us
What else
Madness!!!!!!!!!!!!

Madness is amongst us
It neglect us
And hieghtens us
Makes us cuss
And rape us
Of the victory destined for us
Madness!!!!!!!!!!!
Madness!!!!!!!!!!!
Madness!!!!!!!!!!!
Madness!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Thanks you both so much. It's been a while since I worked my pen but I just had to write. I said I would wait a while for my transition thingy but I couldn't stop like some many from the fam predicted. I couldn't stay from my pen. When I started writing it just all came out. Thanks again ya'll.
