4. ANOTHER STATISTIC FOR THE CHALK TO OUTLINE
This track is an upbeat, rock out track, though the subject is incredibly fucked up. This death involves me being cutdown by a stray bullet in a gang war. It's satirical commentary against black stereotypes and being a statistic. 4: ANOTHER STATISTIC FOR THE CHALK TO LINE A one, a two, a one, two, three GO!

DOWN!!!! Verse 3: Another tree adorned with Another picture for this Young brother who was caught in the wrong place, but right time Another memorial Another news story but The same results, 'cause there will never be a mind Bridge: Who's brave-- Enough To change this Chrous x4 (To be sung with the Chorus in the background, after the Chorus has been sung twice): Another statistic A brother who gives in A mother with reddened eyes.... Another statistic A brother who gives in A mother afraid to cry... 2007 by Sock-rat
