Story of a life what what
Streets are so cold do you feel me yeah
Money don’t make the man man makes the money
seems like the worlds changing its so funny
people kill people die just for the money
mummy crying in uncles arms and it ain’t funny
have to pay the funeral with her last money
and all you got was a phone I can see money
everyday shed a tear cos she loves sonny
lord knows I feel your pain mummy
now you’ve gone and sold the phone for drugs money
3 years gone mummy died to see sonny
uncle lost his mind now he’s gone funny
and for the word that took the phone for the drugs money
he got found shot 10 times in a back alley
a witness said it was his best friend Ally
another mum shedding tears with Aunt Sally
everyday someone dies another body
I’m not feeling this
people take people’s kids away
what’s wrong with the world today
I’m seeing murders occur everyday
so I’m gonna tell you
I’m not feeling this
people take people’s kids away
what’s wrong with the world today
I’m seeing murders occur everyday
so I’m gonna tell you
Oh so many times
young people dying on the streets
nobody cares whats happening
seems such a waste of human race
fighting against what God has just made
families suffer and they grieve
sons and their daughters recently teased
lonely and weak from what has been done
wish we could turn back hands of time
I’m not feeling this
people take people’s kids away
what’s wrong with the world today
I’m seeing murders occur everyday
so I’m gonna tell you
I’m not feeling this
people take people’s kids away
what’s wrong with the world today
I’m seeing murders occur everyday
so I’m gonna tell you
What if I never wake up
would you care would my family break up
is there life after death tell me straight up
is it my destiny to be boxed up
six feet deep in a casket locked up
trying hard gotta let me wake up
don’t wanna leave my kids I wanna see them grown up
and I love my friends and family so hold up
and give me the chance to breathe again
don’t wanna lose my family and friends
the world is full of tears dress hurt and pain
I don’t wanna hurt again
I’m not feeling this
people take people’s kids away
what’s wrong with the world today
I’m seeing murders occur everyday
so I’m gonna tell you
I’m not feeling this
people take people’s kids away
what’s wrong with the world today
I’m seeing murders occur everyday
