No It Wasn'T

No it wasn't my son who was shot and killed No it wasn't my husband who was sent to jail No it wasn't my brother, brother from blood But that was somebody's world at some point. No it wasn't my wife who was murderd with lies No it wasn't my daughter who's death was covered No it wasn't my sister, sister from blood But that could've been somebody's mom I can't go on and pretend that there ain't war in the streets That there's something terribly wrong with the way some people think There's so many words unspoken So many lives just taken Still so much injustice And hearts still broken My mama used to tell me that life was too short That whenever something hurt me To move on and just let go But this time it isn't only about me My heart is not the only one that hurts People out there think they don't have a choice They forget they have a voice Mothers are losing their daughters Husbands are losing their wives Children are losing their parents We can't continue to go round acting like everything is just fine
