Gaza – Straight up, Israel hit a cafe in Gaza, and two people just gone. Dead. A dozen more hurt. This ain't no movie, this real life, and people out here losin' their lives.

They say it was an airstrike. They always sayin' somethin'. But at the end of the day, people dyin'. That cafe, that was a spot where folks chill, you know? Drink coffee, play dominoes, just be. Now it's a graveyard for two souls, and a whole lot of pain for the ones still breathin'.

They gon' talk about Hamas, they gon' talk about rockets, they gon' talk about security. But what about the people on the ground? The ones just tryin' to live their lives? They ain't got nothin' to do with the politics, they just tryna survive.

And let's be real, ain't nobody checkin' for Gaza. The world done forgot about them. They just see 'em as numbers, as casualties. But these are real people, with families, with dreams. Now they just memories.

The block been hot for years, man. The struggle real. Folks trapped in Gaza, can't go nowhere, can't do nothin'. And now they gotta worry about gettin' hit by a missile while they sippin' tea? That ain't right. That ain't justice.

They talk about peace, but where the peace at? All I see is bombs and blood. All I hear is sirens and screams. Where the love at? Where the compassion? Where the respect for human life?

This ain't no game, man. This is people's lives we talkin' 'bout. And until they start treatin' us like human beings, ain't nothin' gonna change. Same story, different day. Just another headline, another tragedy. Keep your head up, Gaza. We see you. We feel you.

What's crazy is that this happens so often that many don't even bat an eye. These are real people being bombed out here for reasons beyond their control.

This ain't no cap. Real talk, Israel done hit a cafe and took two lives. People gonna be hurt and tensions are rising as if they weren't high enough. It's a sad day for the community. Rest in Power to the ones lost.
