It Don'T Stop, It Don'T Quit

There's so much violence happening in the cities making the picture of peace and harmony not look so pretty Where's the light at the end of the tunnel? As I hear a Brother in the night suffer "Hey, can you spare a dime?" I hear a begger ask but the people on the street just point, stare, and laugh I drop a few dollars into his empty cup what he really needs is the warmth of someone's love Young bloods show no respect toward their mamas always living a life plagued with trouble and drama An education they don't seem to care to want as at an old man they harrass and taunt Fights break out in the streets and schools it seems like the kids don't mind acting a damn fool! Always packing guns and knives constantly gambling with their lives A family has no food to eat not one slice of bread nor once slice of meat What is there for me to do? This kind of life sure ain't cool I can't bare to see another tear fall from another child's eye I can't bare hearing an innocent baby cry It just makes me weak to my knees oh, God! Help us, please! My heart is feeling quite heavy this world isn't made for my baby Where can I go? I really don't know This world is nothing but a living hell! I can actually hear Death ringing his bell He's coming for us soon no matter if it's morning or noon My eyes shall close at this time I'll rest until around night at the hour of nine Maybe a message the world will get but right now it don't stop, it don't quit
