Children's Day-James An.mp3

I have begun this letter two times and torn it up twice
who am I to say you must've lost your god damn mind
school violence another student suicided teachers silent
synonymous with cruel bystanders busy hiding the truth the proof
no standards soon you gotta do what nobody expects from the law
“이 나라는 가해자의 편이니까”
“내가 신고한들 뭐가 달라질까”
that's what he wrote on a note
how young you gotta be to write a will
with papers soaked from the tears as a youth
being woke is never enough sleepless nights
accompany those tired of playing a role some sit tight
on their asses complacence manufactured in the blue palace
of the privileged class raking in y'all's taxes
thank god we don't care what they told us
still gotta represent Seoul in the land of the soulless
guns and gangs who rapped about that
chains and blings who's rappin' about that
cars and hoes who rapped about that
fancy clothes who's rappin' about that
a day after Children's Day a five-year old kid
with forty degrees fever in an ambulance
first hospital said there's no room
second hospital said there's no doctor available
third hospital said no fourth hospital said no
fifth hospital said they could only treat him as an outpatient
he died the next day 서울 한복판서 응급실 뺑뺑이
a few days after Children's Day I spent time
with my nephews one's five and another one's two
James was three and William is six
except the older son a family of four shot dead
this year alone over two hundred mass shootings in the States
who the ones that are shooting
who the ones gettin' shot
the mall the restaurant the schools the club nobody's safe
guns and gangs who rapped about that
chains and blings who's rappin' about that
cars and hoes who rapped about that
fancy clothes who's rappin' about that
