Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tryin' not to lose my mind
Woke up feelin' like I'm losin' time
Looked out the window hopin' nothing serious went down today
Oh no, another story line
Another paddle in the sunshine
They pull the trigger lookin' down at the ground where he lay
[Verse 2]
Lord, I don't know
Tell me wind gone from east to when
Are we born to die 'cause the price too high?
All because the color of skin
[Verse 3]
Ooh he was shot down this day
In the middle of his story uh huh
She was shot down in the park
In the middle of the day, hey
[Verse 4]
Shot down on display in the middle of a story uh huh
Shot down didn't obey that's what somebody say, hey
[Verse 5]
Oh I can't believe we can be so cold
We walk around like we lost our souls
Rocket love is pocket love and no one cares to stop and make a change
Education is a loaded gun
Shot down before I even had a chance to run
The system says we matter but the Black Lives only matter certain days
[Verse 6]
Lord, I don't know
Tell me wind gone from east to when
Are we born to die 'cause the price too high?
All because the color of skin
[Verse 7]
Ooh he was shot down this day
In the middle of his story uh huh
She was shot down in the park
In the middle of the day, hey
[Verse 8]
Show down on display in the middle of a story, uh huh
Shot down didn't obey that's what somebody say, hey
[Verse 9]
She was shot down
Shot down
Shot down
[Verse 10]
Aye, aye
I want peace to win
Yes, yes
I want peace to win
[Verse 11]
Yes, yes
I want peace to win
Yes, yes
I want peace to win
