Drawn In Chalk

I am one who has been trying

like you said to pass on the truth

yet words seem to fall on deaf ears

I aint hip enough for our youth

 

day after day the echo of guns

sends out such a piercing sound

tomorrow another brother lost

no longer gonna be around

 

as I go visit mama and who else

can't miss it in the street or walk

"stunning", no matter how often I see

his life outlined... drawn in chalk.
