When
When will it stop ?
Boom boom pop !
Those are shots fired
Lives expired
Expired way before time
Another loved one
Blind
Hurt, can't see, questioning why not me
It's happening to our children
Children of the world
Can't see the future
It's in a twirl
More RIP's all over the news
Another family hurt and confused
When will it stop ?
The killing
Having to bury a loved one
Not a good feeling
(Repeat 1x)
(Verse 2)(Rap)
There use to be times
That we could
Get In an argument
Next day we're all good
Now you don't know
Do you have a choice
To speak or loose your voice
You never know
If you stand up
Your life can be took
Taken from you , so senselessly
No longer guaranteed
It's sad to say
Let me tell you what I mean
Now days it's a blessing to make it to 18!!!
I know that's sad when you look at it like that
Every time you leave you have to watch your back
The sad part is you can't see
People are killing
So willingly
Taking something that they did not give
And then expect for people to give
Give them sympathy, empathy
When they go to court
Families can no longer
Make it ,
Deaths they can't take it.
When will it stop ?
The killing
Having to bury a loved one
Not a good feeling
(Repeat 1x)
Hook
I just want to live
Don't want to fear being killed
(Repeat 1x)
When will it stop ?
The killing
Having to bury a loved one
Not a good feeling
(Repeat 1x)
