Concetta Hardnett Poet Lyric

Let Them Live

(Intro)
Let them live 
Why do we have to kill 
Let them live 
Why do we have to kill 

Verse 1 
I am so broken ?? hearted
Don't even know where it started 
How do you react 
To an elegant color BLACK
Why are we being judged by our skin 
Thought we were out here to win 
Instead of always blaming others 
We have to blame each other
Jealousy and intimidation is real 
No longer happy for each other 
Just trying to kill 
Not making it past 25 
Short lived 
We need our land to heal

(Chorus)
Let them live 
Why do we have to kill 
Let them live 
Why do we have to kill 

Verse 2
We got to learn to have each other's back 
To get this nation back on track 
It's sad it's not to late 
What are we doing 
A world full of hate
A baby girl robbed of her life at 8
A few more lost their lives so suddenly 
Who would've been great 
Great lawyers doctors and so much more 
Tell me how did they end up in somebody's morgue?
How are we shooting destroying things and looting 
When asking children what they want to be when they grow up
They said alive 
Broke my heart I just cried 
No future just wanted to survive 
Let's change that 
Give them the tools to be whatever they want to
(Chorus)
Let them live 
Why do we have to kill 
Let them live 
Why do we have to kill 

Bridge
I'm tired of the hate 
Let's all be great 
Put the Lord first 
We are grateful it could be worse 
(Repeat 1x)

Chorus

Let them live 
Why do we have to kill 
Let them live 
Why do we have to kill 

Repeat 2x until chorus fades
