This piece is called "I Need You To Love Me." It about two black children and their life in the inner-city. This piece deals with single parent homes, gang violence, degradation, the loss of hopes and dreams. The big factor in this piece is that the boy does not make it out of this situation and he dies succumbing to societal pressures. The young girl survives, but carries the baggage of being seen as a sex object. Also she is left to raise children all on her own because most black males do not survive psychologically or physically in our inner-cities.The Hook goes:
I need you to love me, I want to be whole
I need you to love me, please don't let me go
