BLOODSTAINED CONCRETE

As this bloodstained concrete beneath my feet Speaks yet another volume of more death in the street It tells of more police meeting and maintaining agendas Of another mission complete By keeping more drug dealers in business Even if this is only for a time at least It speaks of gun crime on the increase And of mums finding no peace From crying without cease From seeing their young ones dying in the streets Sometimes it sings when it speaks Sad songs of all the wrongs and all the grief Come stand with me Upon this haunting ground In this taunting place And hear the cries of this once ordinary grey pave That now wears a bloodstained face As it tells the in-depth stories of murder Brutality and violation Inflicted on innocent victims in countless police stations It says the same blood running across the floor in there Is the same blood you see staining my face out here Its cold voice cuts through me raw and authoritative Speaking of corrupt law enforcement officers And fraudulent governments Who ship in and fly in weapons and drugs As if mental enslavement isn't enough Without blood on the pavement Distributing them throughout our communities Adding further fuel to our death, decline and disunity Hurting While they just sit back and watch us destroy each other Discuss how good it's working Then order their wicked workmen Their crooked coppers To arrest and try and pocket the profits off of us In this grandiose design Designed to meet a grandiose purpose Black blood continues to spill out into the streets Because in the laws grand scheme of things It's worthless Too late for doctors and nurses Cries this Here cold concrete As it continues to record these injustices upon it's surface Word is You might die here On what the local papers call Murder mile But don't be discouraged Come stand with me a while Upon this haunting ground In this taunting place Where the pavement stays shiny red From the common blood on its face Yes Shiny red With more shine than hair designed with products by Nexxus More glistening than a Gucci diamond necklace Runs smoother and faster than a brand new Lexus And draws more attention than a girl group from Texas Yes Come stand with me And hear these tainted streets cry freedom Freedom from the blood of those bleeding But there comes no relief From the guns and drugs they keep feeding Into our communities Destroying our belief in love and unity With so much evil in our neighbourhood It's difficult to see any good Then we wonder why our youngsters don't behave as they should It's all in the mind control system of thieves Don't take my brain away Need to think Or soon we'll be Extinct By this strategically manufactured disease Mass genocide is taking place outside and on our TVs Right before our eyes And still millions of closed minds can't see That this is all by design and meant to be Mentally, physically and spiritually it's deep There goes another soul put to sleep Through drugs and gun crime on the increase Everyday it's the same old repeat And as this cold wind blows through me I stand here listening to the testimonies Of this bloodstained concrete beneath my feet Speaking yet another volume Of more death In the street
