Middle East Wildin' Out: Missiles Flyin', Bodies Droppin'
Another day, another war overseas while folks at home can't even afford gas, real talk.
Yo, what's good, fam? Heard the news? The Middle East is cookin' again, missiles flyin' like it's the Fourth of July, but ain't no celebration here, ya dig? They sayin' Iran clapped back, hittin' Israel and some spots in the Gulf. One body already dropped in the UAE, smh.
Meanwhile, back in the hood, prices still sky-high, rent's due, and folks strugglin' to put food on the table. But nah, we gotta send billions overseas for these endless wars, while our own communities fallin' apart. The priorities is all messed up.
These politicians talkin' 'bout 'national security,' but what about the security of our families, our jobs, our schools? They worried 'bout some war thousands of miles away, but ain't doin' nothin' 'bout the violence on our own streets.
They keep sayin' it's 'retaliatory,' but it's just a never-ending cycle of violence. One side bombs, the other side bombs back. Rinse and repeat. And who suffers? The everyday people, the innocent bystanders, the folks just tryin' to make a livin'.
They want us to pick a side, to wave a flag, to blindly support the war machine. But I'm tellin' you, ain't no winners in this game. It's all about power, control, and money. And the people get played every time.
They feedin' us propaganda on the TV, tryna get us hyped up for another war. But we gotta stay woke, keep our eyes open, and see through the BS. This ain't our fight, man. We got our own battles to fight right here at home.
They claimin' the U.S. gotta be involved, gotta protect our 'interests.' But whose interests are they really protectin'? The corporations, the oil companies, the wealthy elites. Not us, that's for sure.
So, while they droppin' bombs and countin' money, we gotta focus on buildin' our communities, supportin' our families, and fightin' for justice. We gotta take care of our own, 'cause ain't nobody else gonna do it for us.
Stay strong, stay focused, and stay real. We gotta keep it 100 and never forget who we are and what we stand for. Peace out.
