Mothers,our sons are dying


Nothing new under the sun .. wanna bet. Have you looked
around, you see a sunset. 
Is your baby boy in the house,you checked yet?   Or is he on
the corner and you see no reason to fret.   Did you read the
paper,the news will spin your head   They talking about
tupac,biggie and master Jay being dead. 

  They talking about Merlin who just joined that list They
talking about us,how do we stop this.   We're losing our
babies,our men ,our backbone We hardly put down a paper
before another ones gone. 

They talking about the Jason's and the David's in my world
.The promising young men who died in this turmoil.   Nothing
new under the sun .. wanna bet, yesterday one of these boys
wasn't dead. 

We are thier mothers,you and me ..
we've got to band to set our son's free. It does begin at
home believe it or not
we've got to teach them not to want what another's got.
We've got to show them how to stand tall,
work for thier dreams pain and all. I'm talking to you ..you
think your son's safe I thought that too .. now I don't see
Jason's face. 

But if nothings new under the sun,
help me to save one child For a new day has begun.
