Majors - The Dawn Lyrics

I like to spread light, just like the rising sun
Cuz for some these kids morning may never come
It embodies the spirit of every child dead of starvation
Every lost soul that lost in translation
It represents the class in school that you skipped
On account of you being with your crew, getting blitzed
The count for the dropout rate that's rising
The teen preg. stats & the death rates that's getting higher
Drug deals that never seem to plateau
The love that's at an all time low
Forreal, We gotta stop killing our own, man
Because the government is already on it
Just like the liquor stores is on every corner
In hopes of to keep a nigga pacified
Still... Baby fathers must rise to be grown men
These are simple things that a nigga should know, man
But we don't, man... and that fact is pitiful
I hope this impacts whoever it's meant for
Sad truth is you'll probably never hear it
But if, in fact, you do, I pray that you instill it
For anyone with blind eye, I pray that you will listen
If you can't catch a glimpse of it, at least catch the gist of it
That there's something deep within the lyrics
Then again, this is just a mad man's philippics

(Whole time, what the muhf*ckin' message is?!)

Couldn't tell you what the m'f message is
Ain't no message, just a whole heap of medicine
Just some knowledge, take it to make you better
I tell ya, life's a... check it for the estrogen
The world's frigid when you need a ski mask to live in it
It's a winter wonderland, let the government/media paint it (the picture)
This one's for my frostbitten constituents

I wrote this song in the dark before dawn
Cuz for some of these kids morning may never come
It's the end-result of any person slain in hatred
And the violence that it begot in retaliation
Shoutout to all my niggas with a college education
To all my niggas filling out those job applications
Shootout all my kin and all my known relation
Whose believes savagery's the only thing relatable
This is for the youth with everything to lose
Coming from where cruelty isn't something new
You think (Trayvon Martin) was shocking?
Just think of the events that didn't make the news
