Stop the violence, let us grow
Listen to us you need to know!
Stop the violence, we?re here to say
that being a kid should be okay!
Where is being a kid okay?
Where can I feel free to say?
?Hey World, here I am, just being me,
running and playing, climbing a tree!?
Not on my street will you see such a sight.
Just gangs hanging out waiting for the night.
When darkness falls we have to lock our doors.
That?s when the drive by?s begin and we hit the floor.
They are fighting over turf, drug deals gone sour.
With each new score they gain props and power.
Gangbangers kill each other, take it all in stride.
For only in death do they find meaning for their lives.
Stop the violence, let us grow
Listen to us you need to know!
Stop the violence, we?re here to say
that being a kid should be okay!
Just because you don’t act doesn’t mean others won’t react. You’re just as responsible for your inactions as you are for your actions. They all produce consequences.
