Something You Oughta Know
Dogs barking loud,
sirens blaring,
barreling down the street
Arguments are catching steam,
as confusion breaks forth everywhere
Locomotive disagreements,
everybody got an opinion tonight
Facts are being kept from the public,
crisis is high-wire balancing on razor-thin innuendo
Did they or didn’t they
shoot that little girl dead?
How could they, why would they
put a stray bullet in her head?
Authorities ain’t telling the public
what they know
Every minute the rumor windmill
spinning grows
Five years of innocence
caught in the cross hairs of a blood feud
Tempers flared,
hot lead filled the air
And a young child lies lifeless on the stairs
Had her favorite doll in her hand,
with a smile frozen on her face
She died oblivious to the noise,
children are always captivated by their toys
Arguments are now about who’s to blame,
it doesn’t matter much,
the fatal results aren’t gonna change
But here’s something you oughta know ...
she had an innocent thought in her heart,
when her
spirit
departed
out the shattered window
But here’s another thing you oughta know ...
God retrieves every spirit, however what manner they go
But here’s one more thing you oughta know ...
God will give a new body to every reborn soul
But here’s something you oughta know ...
Resurrection testifies that God is capable
