Verse 1
You don’t know what it's like in the city where catz use gatz real bad boys ask diddy
ain’t no pity's shown when they holden chrome for real 13 in the wrong place wrong
time got killed what’s deal how you feel America I’m asking too many young kids
dying cause they blasting nobody laughin crying at the wake closed casket I hope you
following these words cause this is a classic Johnny gonna get cha on the right path
listen put the guns down for a moment pay attention did I mention I was young too wit a
gun too till it took for me to lose a good friend to get a clue I speak the truth in the
booth for the youth so they can change and maintain without havin to shoot need proof look
at me I done change for the best now I’m better for it I gotta walk wit a vest And
that's real
HOOK
It's on the block when we dying from the glock we need to stop the gun violence no longer
silent we need to make a change too many young people dying
It's in the streets when everybody got heat nobody speaks cause they scared to America I
dare you to make a change let the whole world hear you
Verse 2
Ayo these streets keep callin me back but never that I could never go back to holding a
gat couldn’t go back to that life cause its too risky hands on the hood while a grown
man starts to frisk me I ain’t trying to do time I’m on the grind wit the rhyme
known sometime I’m a shine gotta keep a focus mind ya’ll know the real but
ain’t doing nothing about it while kids are getting killed hell wit a deal I gotta
son who’s steady watchin me so what I look like wit a gun on the block poppin three
look look at pac B.I.G. jam master jay then these rappers get confused when kids do what
they say kayne west said it best when he said Jesus walks wit em Johnny ain't had the
pleasure yet but I talks wit em gotta let the world know that the future is dying so stop
the gun violence or your mother could be crying.
(Repeat) Hook
Verse 3
Ayo guns kill bottom line gotta put away the nine gotta watch for both hands but I ain't
trying ta do time this ain’t a rhyme this real life real crime real people out there
doing 25 to life I’m here to make a change in this world make a change for these
young beautiful boys and girls I seen too many fall before they had a chance to grow
nobody helped em if you doing the same then you should know you gotta play the role take
control do what it takes why should these kids die young over your mistakes I rhyme for
peace soul truth and life for the people on the block where it's hot trying to live right.
For the youth in this world trying to live out their dreams is why I’m trying with
the rhyme by any means. But I feel it’s never too late to stop the violence. Turn all
the tears and fears to people smiling. Yea
