CHICAGO.

I’m afraid for people I don’t even know

What the fuck is going on in Chicago?

Children are dying in the street by the dozens

Sons, daughters, uncles, aunts and cousins.

In a few years they’ll be doing a documentary

On how the gangs took over the streets

How neighbors were afraid to snitch

How fear made them sit back and watch this.

What the fuck is going on in Chicago?

And how does it get fixed?

Do we call on the government?

Obama aren’t you from this place?

Babies shot in the head, blood covering their face.

It’s too much and it’s our people dying

Mothers with no help, left only pain and crying

Oprah what you did in Africa, do there

They have no help; don’t you care?

I just don’t understand the country I see

Within days Sandy Hook had nationwide relief.

What the hell is going on in Chicago?

I don’t know but it seems like a shame

Like an island of black people drenched in pain.

Where is Al Sharpton and Jesse, is there anything to do?

I care about Chicago, do you?

What the hell is going on in Chicago?

It burns a whole in my soul

To see us dying in the day light

Weekends filled with fear and fright.

I don’t know what it’s gonna take to heal

An entire city that’s lost its will.

What the fucking hell is going on in Chicago?

Maybe they don’t know

Maybe it don’t show

But Lord please send some help to Chicago.
