Same story different day aint shit change I close my eyes and pray lord take this pain away I'm on my hands and knees begging for some peace Mama they murdering my young brothers in these streets How many got to die, how many got to fly I close my eyes asking God tell me the reason why It's hard not to cry looking at this life Another body shot down dam this can't be life Young and black wrong place at the wrong time Let me guess he had a gun so gun him down Where's the weapon ? Aint one so what now He posed a threat all because of how he looked wow Another child gone Nobody sees the wrong I can't believe this is the country that I call home Murdered in daylight Caught on camera right Paid leave slapped on the risk it aint right I close my eyes and pray I close my eyes and pray I close my eyes and pray Lord take this pain away I close my eyes and pray I close my eyes and pray I close my eyes and pray Lord take this pain away I close my eyes and pray I close my eyes and pray I close my eyes and pray Lord take this pain away I close my eyes and pray I close my eyes and pray I close my eyes and pray Lord take this pain away But this pain runs deep see I can't sleep When were killing our selves man it aint no peace Auntie dry your eyes it's going to be okay Shout out to my cousin Larry it's going to be okay He had big dreams could of been anything Gun down in the streets wasn't 16 Such a hard pill for me to swallow still The good die young but not from the barrow of a gun Shorties want they stripes doing drive by's Taking lives watching innocent people die In Chi-raq they dying every dam day I pray for peace og's we got to clean our streets Moment of silence for those who died in the streets I close my eyes and pray I close my eyes and pray I close my eyes and pray Lord for one day of peace I close my eyes and pray I close my eyes and pray I close my eyes and pray Lord take this pain away I close my eyes and pray I close my eyes and pray I close my eyes and pray Lord take this pain away I close my eyes and pray I close my eyes and pray I close my eyes and pray Lord take this pain away I close my eyes and pray I close my eyes and pray I close my eyes and pray Lord take this pain away Yo on some real talk This life that were living Is a blessing from God So who are we to tarnish such a blessing I aint perfect lord knows I'm not But I hope and pray that No mother, no father, no brother, no sister, No grandma, no granddad, no aunt, no cousin No husband, no wife, no friend, no pastor, no teacher, no coworker Has to ever burry a love one who felled victim To the violence of a gun for no reason Were killing each other over Instagram post, Facebook, wearing the wrong colors, Looking the wrong way, crossing the wrong street Were bigger than that, Were stronger than that We are the future and what we do today creates our tomorrow Remember that What we do today creates our tomorrow Now that's a hard pill to swallow Real talk
