Lyrics Violence - Thavius Beck

Violence

They say the state of your environment
Coupled with defiance of societal requirements
Is what creates violence
That and repetition of pimpin', shootin' and lootin' in media transmission
In addition to the negligence of parents due to lots of broken homes
Bitterness and broken dreams leads to brittle broken bones
So little kids roam the streets like wild-eyed prey
Continue in the cycle of decay
Every day a vital image of a foolish imitation
Is impressioned on a person and becomes an aspiration
They wanna acquire the chain the fool had on the flyer
They want guns, girls, rings, cars, rims, tires
They want heroes but they got liars
Those who focus only on material desires
And will do whatever necessary to acquire
A hot spot on the skewer, roasting in eternal fire
So are these young ones the collective sums of the slums they inhabit?
Inhibited by violence that borders on pornographic?
Or is it that the truth has been slightly fabricated?
Borrowed by every rapper, twisted and exaggerated
Now it’s incorporated in their bio
Shot five times by a wino
On the way to sell crack for their auntie’s pimp
Now that’s the backstory for that well rehearsed limp
As long as it sells
That’s the story they’ll continue to tell
And these fools keep lying
'Cause you fools keep buying
What’s defined as a dream for a young black teen
Big stacks of green, sacks by the triple beam
Just generations away from being slaves
Yet this is how you jigaboo niggers want to behave?
Shuckin and jivin'
Bug eyed grinning with your ancestors spinning like gyroscopes in their graves
Think about it
