Lost Ones
Brothers in jail
Sisters posting bail
Postcards being sent thru the mail
About the truth of life in a cell
The horrible decisions they had to make
The Gavel coming down sealing their fate

Lost Ones
Lost Ones
Hear our worrying cry
How will there be a future if you die
Sisters losing the battle of self worth
Because of brotha’s abusing what’s under her skirt
Low self esteem forcing her to choose
Sex without love her playing the fool
Learning that life is far too cruel
Lost Ones
Lost Ones
Hear our urgent plea
It starts with you…and ends with me
Open your eyes and clearly see
What must become and what will be
With help from the generation that includes me
Slinging dope in the hood street
What’s the odds you’ll beat
Them at their own game
Murder and incarceration that’s insane
You have no one to blame
So put your mind to a much better test
Go ahead and achieve goals by doing your best
Focus on college as a positive outlet

For once just listen
To our strategic position
It will send you to a place you’ve never been
A uplifting place to obtain new friends
The kind that store wisdom in their life
Together you push on the fight
Seeing your future in a new light
Sisters pushing babies out all too fast
Not even taking time to heal from the last
One
You should’ve paid close attention
In health class when they mentioned
STD’s, AIDS and Pregnancy
A harsh reality that has come to be
You’re a statistic nothing more
Instead of using your mind to explore
The possibilities of life
For once just listen
To our strategic position
It will send you to a place you’ve never been

The time is now
Open your eyes and settle down
Get your education right
Use your knowledge to take flight
Into a world that is yours
The future of tomorrow is right thru those doors
