CEASE THE FIRE
by Baltimore’s Keith Mon
Man, when I hit the street
I can feel the heat
Imaginary bodies dropping at my feet
People just don’t care
You’d better beware
Because life ain’t fair
Innocents lost from shot’s in the air
Momma’s crying
Because their babies dying
In the streets you can see them lying
The devil’s roaring like a lion
In everybody’s life he’s prying
But ya gotta keep on trying
I see the tears
I hear the fears
Young one’s talking bout their peers
Lost to this violence
No one talking through the code of silence
Until their own family feel the violence
Now you see the chalk
Now you wanna talk
Feeling like it’s your fault
Ain’t tryna let the gunner’s walk
Keep it real now
Tell em how ya feel now
Shooter said, it’s time to make a deal now
This”ishhhhh”done got real now
BALTIMORE WE BEGGING YOU TO CEASE THE FIRE
*Baltimore Ceasefire August 4 – 6, 2017

Thanks Kendall. It was a great first chance to take part and I really enjoyed the collaborative experience with Nadine. However, if you you want to see Jemverse really shine, a solo spot’s the way to go. Been writing for over 50 years now and have a back-catalogue numbering into the 1000’s! But the best is still to come.
