Blood In the Streets

Gang wars
Gang violence
Constant carnage
Endless bloodshed

Why do they continue this
This endless bloodletting
The streets run red
Like the Nile River
But brought by steel and metal
Not by the hand of God's follower

Too many deaths,too many tears
To many peoples lives torn asunder
So man innocence has bled out
Too many put six-feet under

God please hear your son
down here in the blood soaked dirt
Why do so many of your children
seek to cost each other death and hurt

In these streets there's no mecry
In these streets there's no peace
Only one thing is here in these streets

Blood
Life Blood
Innocent blood
Bad Blood
Blood in these streets
