BETTER LIFE, BETTER HOME

[Intro: Caroline Clifford, Dave LewAllan]
But first tonight, a mother's fight for justice after losing not one, but two sons to Detroit's violence
Welcome to 7 Action News at 6, I'm Caroline Clifford
And I'm Dave LewAllan
It was back in December of 2019 when Markila Parker lost her 19 year old son Tamarion
Little did she know that just over two years later, she'd lose another
Her son Tyrone was murdered two weeks ago
Only adding to her pain, Wayne County severe back law in the court system
7 ex-news reporter Kimberly Craig spoke to this grieving mother, still waiting for justice

[Hook]
Uh, you wanted death when you left in there bleedin'
I made a bet when the stress wasn't even (Word)
Wake up with stress like every morning
I knew that same kid really was dreaming of a better life, better home (What?)
You better grip a knife when you lone (Whoa)
How do you sleep at night, stress from heat and strife, and you only worried 'bout the dough?

[Verse]
I'm here with conflict
Pull up to your mom's crib, I empty the clip
I'm chill with some convicts
Shit, atleast I'm honest, but not to a bitch
Yeah, I got a lot of feelings when the plot is dealing, pop cops seeking
So I jot my feelings in my notebook
You get lazy, let the hoes cook
Think I'm wrong?
Take a close look
Motherfucker, you don't know us
I met my homie in school back when Peggy had the hoes shook
Listen over coca cola (What?)
I was high in my room
Imagine that times two
I was in and outta conscious
Do the fucking six bong rips
I don't know what to do
I'm at a loss
What does my happiness cost?
What if my homie was shot?
I would take a bullet for that kid (For that kid)
I was tripping off some acid (Whoa, what?)

[Hook]
You wanted death when you left in there bleedin'
I made a bet when the stress wasn't even
Wake up with stress like every morning (Every morning)
I knew that same kid really was dreaming of a better life, better home (Better home)
You better grip a knife when you lone (You know)
How do you sleep at night, stress from heat and strife, and you only worried 'bout the-
-orry, -orry, -orry, -orry, -orry

[Outro: Caroline Clifford, Markila Parker]
I remember talking to Tyrone Parker about his hope for justice shortly after his brother was shot and killed
Now their mom is struggling to understand losing both of them
Now, I couldn't believe it
Now, I'm in denial
I'm askin' why
Why it ha-
