We're running around in a circle,

It's a habit for not to be nurtured,

We failed the standards,

Made scars upon a nation,

Because we think too backwards,

Misreading thoughts that take us into heated debates,

Worryed about other people's business,

But where's the food on our plates,

People are quick to claim they're fearless,

Let a brother get shot,

There ain't no witness,

Case close,

Another black knot,

Why is this on repeat,

We go by the media,

But there isn't any plot,

They get the money from us viewing it,

But that's just the start,

A brother gets killed or maybe just shot,

So we start to riot and we lose our train of thought,

This way of thinking is offbeat,

This is something we must not keep,

People out here dying,

While we sit here and peep,

Family's out here crying,

Because their loved ones are being put into eternal sleep,

Once it's in the media,

We hit the streets,

Breaking throwing trashing,

Doing things we shouldn't be,

Where is the plot,

Wait I forgot,

Black knot,
