Lyrics Mayhem (feat. Rush Davis) - B.Anderson

Murder murder murder, city going crazy
Somebody baby gone, the stats had said its record-breaking
Reason unknown, only thing for sure is funeral arrangements
My region torn up in pieces, I pray for better days cause
This sh*t is daily
How we end up here?
People dying, people scared
Peep the times, we live in fear
The steepest times is feeling near
40 people, 30 days, imagine the way it played out
Some was just tryna fit in, while others needed a way out
I play out, scenarios in my mind, wishing that I
Could be one to stop it all right in the nick of time
But God, he's never mistaken
But God, I'm asking you, why?
My city stuck in confusion, I'm asking for you to drive
The road to life should be bumpy but never should it subside
To violence in front our eyes, you watch in horror as time
Reverting back to murderous motive I hope you ain't blind
It's too many of us dying

This work of my hands
Can't pray the world away
War was here before my first breath
Death was here before my first step
So, Where is the life?
Where is the life?

Yea, I pray for better days
Cause i been seeing the end of em'
Kids bleeding on CNN
I grieve like I'm kin to them
Prosecution non existent, don't believe in sentencing
Executioner walking free while the deceased was innocent
Grannies bury babies, see the irony in that
Ain't no questions asked and ain't no chance to fire back
This cycle of confusion got us used to dying black
Chief of police be misdirected, yea I'm aiming for the Cap
I pray for better days cause I believe it
Although it's hard to see
Through bullet holes and misery
And misty eyes that hold defeat
Told my granny that I would to be somebody, so you see
Mr. officer I can't be the subject of somebody's tee
Fight for something or fall
Ain't no bluffing involved
We just stuck in the system and we just wanna evolve
I just ask for a witness I'm bent on pushing the cause
Change is coming and we at source

This work of my hands
Can't pray the world away
War was here before my first breath
Death was here before my last step
So, Where is the life?
Where is the life?
