About the senseless mayham that's going on in our world today
There's so much violence happening in the cities
making the picture of peace and harmony not look so pretty
Where's the light at the end of the tunnel?
As I hear a Brother in the night suffer
"Can you spare a dime?" I hear a beggar desperatly ask
but the people on the streets just stare and laugh
I drop a few dollars into his empty cup
what he really need is love
Young bloods show no respect toward their mamas
always living a life of trouble and drama
An educations they don't want
as at an old man they poke fun and taunt
Fights break out in the streets and schools
it seems like the kids don't mind acting a fool
Always packing a gun and a knife
constantly gambling with their lives
A family has no food to eat
not one slice of bread, not one piece of meat
What's there for me to do?
This kind of life just isn't cool
I can't bare to see another tear come from a child's eye
I can't bare hearing an innocent baby cry
It just makes me weak to my knees
Oh, God! Help us, please!
My heart is feeling quite heavy
this world insn't for my baby
Where can I go?
I really don't know
This world is nothing but a living hell!
I can actually hear Death ringing his bell
He's coming for us soon
no matter if it's morning, night, or noon
My eyes shall close at this time
I'll rest until nine
Maybe a message the world would get
but right now: it don't stop, it don't quit
