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) Written by Concetta Hardnett 10/21/2021
