VERSE I
Why there gotta be so much going on in this world.
Why they gotta kill little kids and rape little girls.
I think it’s time to put the guns down.
There needs to be a change and the time is now.
Don’t make bad decisions think through twice.
The consequences of taking a man’s life.
How a pull of a trigger could ruin it all.
Could your conscience handle seeing him fall.
We need to put a stop to all the gun crimes.
Too many people stuck behind bars doing time.
Too many lifes ruined all for nothing.
One way or another we got to do something.
Get your mind right it’s time to act strong.
Cause you know that we all need to get along.
You watch the news see another man’s dead.
We need to stop the violence and unite instead. (yeah)
HOOK
Stop (OH) put a cease to fire
Stop (OH) set your expectations higher
Stop (OH) Don’t reach for the gun
Live life to the fullest ain’t no need to run (OH)
VERSE II
You see guns don’t solve anything.
But people use them thinking they solving everything.
Yes it’s true with more money comes more problems.
But that don’t mean we need gun crimes to solve them.
When is it just all gonna stop.
After we lost the greatest Biggie and Pac.
I’m asking how many rappers gotta fall.
Before we drop the guns and all get along.
Beef is all I’m hearing what happened to lyrics.
Now you gotta be tough just to hear it.
All of a sudden rap’s turning into a war.
And every rapper asking who ready for more.
Foreal what’s going on what happened to hip hop.
Now you ain’t cool until you get shot.
Biggie, Tupac and Jam Master Jay.
We miss you ever since you passed away.(Repeat)
HOOK
VERSE III
Yea you know there’s too much going on these days.
We need to come closer and change our ways.
How many people gotta get killed and shot up.
And the killer walking around like it’s no problem.
You carry a gun thinking you look cool.
Pull the trigger by accident now what you gonna do.
Hard times for gun crimes that’s the life you living.
25 years to life in prison.
Now your life is ruined what you gonna be doing.
There goes it all no dreams persuing.
So jus stop and think through twice.
Put the gun away yeah don’t take that life.
Yea you know that death is too much of a loss.
I’m just trying to get the message across.
We need to stop the violence another life’s finishing.
Time to cease the fire thanks for listening. (yeah)
