It's like you need to have steel just to feel relaxation

tons o' guns everybody's getting strapped
tons o' guns got to watch the way you act
tons o' guns real easy to get
tons o' guns bringing nothing but death
Had an ill convo this evening with my man Horace and this other cat U* who has started his own non-profit focused on high-risk youth. So we're gonna try this thing again on Sunday and try to get it poppin because the discussion ran the gamut from reasons to solutions. We talk about the state of affairs and how some well-off folk essentially neglected entire generations. And it was also the first time I had a ocnversation in which someone else echoed my sentiment that the crack babies were teenagers. That's been one of my primary thought streams and to hear it out of someone else's mouth was refreshing - unfortunate - but good to hear my sentiment was not solo. We also shot the breeze on the possible projects that a real collabo of committed folks could get off the ground. One idea was a shelter for homeless Black men because none seem to exist. So you know I'mma go have to look up everything that got mentioned. Plus, it was also mentioned that Boston is the only city without a hazardous waste unit in the police department. Umm...yeah lemme go look that one up too. BE right back.
tons o' guns are in the streets nowadays
it's big money and you know crime pays
check your nearest overpopulated ghetto
they greet you with a pistol not trying to say hello
-Gangstarr, "Tons O Guns"
