Analysis of Say No More ( Dances With Swords )
Is it just me is it pure fantasy
That the fighting must end
Share this message press send
Say these youths have nothing to lose
There's no light at the end of the trouble tunnel
Everyday spent in this manor
Knocked back by the reality hammer
Change the record the tune
Choose life there's still room
Say No More Dances With Swords
Go get free jump aboard
Break the mould be bold
Fulfill a different role
Model to your peers amidst the sneers the jeers
Yeah others will diss you but they sure ain't gonna miss you
See it's this jealousy and strife that leads to taking someone's life
So don't take rap do the time talking crap about crime ...
Can't stop then just mime find an alternative rhyme
Don't do battle with death
Take a loved ones last breath
Life in the pound now how does that sound
So listen up if you can
Don't be a fool be a man
Don't let that door bang
"No More" Cool and the gang
