Epic Tragedy

Yeah, it’s epic, and it’s tragic

Verse 1:
We livin’ in the crime time
I see so much pain in my timeline
I see so much grief on the primetime
Late night news young kids dyin’ I’m
Just tryna make sense of it all
‘cause it’s gotta be the poverty that’s hittin’ us all
So the brothas hit the block and be givin’ their all
To another brotha shot and he end up a pawn
Modern day Willie Lynch, the prisoners’ song
Orange is the new black so they lynch ‘em in orange
Nightstick like whips deliver the harm
If not they got nice clips to rip ‘em apart
Black kid gets killed, they make him a thug
White kid kills kids, they blame it on drugs
What racism does is make us think that we different
That’s why I welcome y’all to my world, take a listen to my

Chorus:
Epic tragedy
A life that you’re sad and glad to see
I ask God, “is this what you have for me?”
He replies, “it’s a epic tragedy”

Verse 2:
And to my little cousin Andrew
You can do anything another man do
You know our family was poor and we struggled
You saw your mom and dad hustle, stay out of trouble
They did it honestly
You and Brianna need to go further than they can
You know I’m proud to see all the Facebook pics
With your jersey and your helmet
But pick friends slow, a person could be jealous
Be careful with the chicks, I know all about it
Heh, you know what it is, we’ll talk about it
If you focused and know what your goals is you got it
Another thing dudes with no goals you drop ‘em
How you gon’ get it poppin’ when all they doin’ is [?]
Hangin’ on the block and you tryna be Calvin Johnson
I love the two of y’all, you got options
Keep your cousin proud and don’t stop it
It’s epic

Verse 3:
And to the kids who had it bad like me
You can make it all a epic tragedy
I mean a epic that started out tragically
And turned beautifully good though gradually
So all my former relatives that believed
That’s deceased will you dance with me?
Grandma mom Dolly, Randy C
Uncle J, Big Captain and Denise
I celebrated ‘cause I made it from the past decade
I’m here while so many others passed away
And I don’t have to stay because my tracks are played
Wherever people exist because my raps explain
Human plight, human triumph and mastery
Wherever humanity is there I have to be
So when it’s all said and done and I have to leave
I’m resurrected through the epic of my tragedy
