Violence

[Chorus: Elijah Kyle]
You could say a thousand words that don't mean shit
Everybody says they want change, then they seal their lips
Too many are going far too young
I pray all this violence stops

[Verse 1: Elijah Kyle]
Yeah, I hope that when my life is over, you're all proud of me
And every time they say my name, that has some sort of meanin'
Or summons up a certain memory from inside of your mental
How this kid defied the odds and wrote a story with his pen and pencil
Probably more ghetto than I ever was presidential
But then again, I'm lookin' at this country surrounded in shambles
All this fire in the air but no one's seen's wearin' flames
So much shooters on the daily, we're all numb to the pain
I hate to talk about it but we all sweet about it
Police shootin' harmless humans and just walk around it
Like nothing's wrong
When the family lost a child and someone they love
Just for you to have some fuckin' power, you want to be thug
I'm fuckin' tired of this shit
All you say is "Make us great," what kind of greatness is this?
Ignorance is really bliss, I doubt this ever gets fixed
'Cause people say they want change
But actions never exist, yeah

[Chorus: Elijah Kyle]
You could say a thousand words that don't mean shit
Everybody says they want change then they seal their lips
Too many are going far too young
I pray all this violence stops

[Verse 2: King Blitz]
Yeah
Got my hands lifted up, yeah
Got no crimes committed, I'm just black in America
It's sad really
You see my people die daily, they shoot first then they cuff us
They killin' my brothers, why can't America love us?
Ol' G got us out the hood, she wanted better for us
I've been profiled a couple times with hands in the cuff
I don't get it
You servin' to protect and yet you killin'
How long we gon' let it run on before we start the sentence?
They don't get it
I'm startin' to feel like you don't feel shit
How it ain't valid man, we filmed it
We heard, "Don't move, hands in the air!"
Then "Don't shoot!" then 2 shots like do-do
Then he head home like it's nothing new
They portray him like a thug when he one the news
They don't really understand what my culture's accustomed to
Just pray to God and hope he hear the whole world
Yeah, I am a father, brother
Tryna raise a family with my daughter, mother
It explains why then what you seein' is violent
