[04:03.14]Let me pick the things I'm funding from an app on my screen
[04:06.11]Better that than letting wack congressman I've never seen
[04:08.99]Dictate where my money go,
[04:10.72]Straight into the palms of
[04:12.20]Some Money-hungry company that
[04:13.77]Make guns that circulate the country
[04:15.70]And then wind up in my hood, making bloody clothes
[04:18.54]Stray bullet hit a young boy with a snotty nose
[04:21.45]From the concrete, he was prolly rose
[04:23.65]Now his body froze and nobody knows what to tell his mother
[04:26.94]He did good at the white man schools unlike his brother
[04:30.05]Who was lost in the streets all day, not using rubbers
[04:33.04]So right now, he got two on the way
[04:34.90]Still sleep on covers in his mama house
[04:36.95]She can't take this ************t no more, she want him out
[04:39.49]On the morning of the funeral, just as she's walking out
[04:42.25]Wiping tears away, grabbing her keys and sunglasses
