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.
