PUBLIC ADVISORY
The violence must end.
Our streets. Our children. Our future. Philadelphia deserves peace.
4th of July
I call my brothers, call my cousins, makin' sure they alive
I don't even know who got hit up, I'm just prayin' that they survive
They shootin' right in front of these babies, swear that somethin' ain't right
Somethin' ain't right
They said these firecrackers ain't the only thing got lit up
My city all at war, if you in the way, you gon' get hit up
Gotta watch your body, can't be lackin' when you leavin' the club
(Severelements, hey, hey)
Crazy part about it, I was supposed to be there that night, it could've been me
When I got home, saw the news, I fell on my knees and I thank God
I was thinkin' rest in peace, oh PNB, my city needs somethin'
Ohhh, my city needs somethin'
I'm pushin' peace, I'm just a product of these streets
I ain't no gangster, I'm just me
I found a way out for my family, I'm just showin' what you could be
It's been a long
It's been a long time comin'
But change still ain't come
It's been a long, long, long, long, long time
But change still ain't come
4th of July
Shit, we was poppin' M80's, this shit got crazy
Now we runnin' around all 40s and 9s
My young boul Brazy, I can't save him, they try play him, he just ran off like he gon' get a bomb
I see water in his eyes
I don't tell 'em like I told him to die
I taught youngin' how to hustle, I taught shorty to ride
Used to be a firecracker, I taught shorty to cry
'Til them shots fired sound like it's fireworks, 'til we heard the sirens
Prayin' every night I don't catch the murder virus
Kill my brother, kill your brother too, have a murder riot
Do a ritual with them switches, tell them burn in fire
He had caught too many cases, so he wore a wire
Put a still all on his statement, they ain't real quiet
You know beefin' with the chasers, you get real tight
Gettin' real paper, fuck how they feel about us
We give up fireworks, no north side gon' kill about me
We let off fireworks, no south side gon' drill by me
I want stop the violence, if I slip niggas gon' still pop me
Damn
To them streets I pledge allegiance, given hell or heathens
It was really hella deceivin', I ain't never see it
We ain't beefin', we doin' holler, really every season
Cause when you hear them fireworks, you ain't never leavin'
Light us

(Spoken, News Anchor) Someone shoots a gun or is hit by a gun, it's too late. So, they're saying they want investments in education, they want investments in mental health. A lot of these communities are seeing ongoing trauma again and again. So, time will really tell, but the criminal...
Can I go hit go wild?
