Stop the violence
His heart no longer beats,
Pull together,
Take violence off the streets,
Carrying a gun is not clever,
A million mothers tears are crying,
Because another million sons and daughters are dying,
Another you body laying there silent,
Do people really think they are cool because they are violent?,
A bullet in the leg,
The young offenders are heard saying “now beg”,
Then to finish their victim's life a bullet to the head,
1 minute gone,
And there lay another child on an early death bed,
How many more lives are going to be lost with one gun?,
A mother now loses her once loved son,
You offender stands in prison,
“why did I pull that trigger?”,
They do it to get their “rep” bigger,
A mother wants justice,
Because she dident get that one last kiss,
Kids killing kids over a area code,
Young offenders stuck in killer mode,
But it's the mother who has to take the heartbreak load,
Pull together and stop the violence,
Lets stop the mother's tears,
Lets take away those dreadful street fears.
