Another Man Down

Ah!
(Ahhhh just look at this)
Another man down
Another man
Another man down
Another man down
Yeah yeah
Look
Got a lot of little homies
Selling weed
They ain't have no father figure
So they're looking up to me
I'm trying to show them
That there's something they can be
You ain't gotta be another one
To die up in the street
Homie you and gotta do it
No-no-no
I know you're tired of running from the Po-po
You say you want change
But you gotta let go
There's another way
Homie let me show you yeah
I got the call back in college
That one of my homies just died yeah
Felt like a ton of bricks hit me
I dropped to my knees
And I cried, yeah
This can't be true
Shoot in the head
A few blocks from our school
We was cocaptains
He wore number 2
I wore number 10
And boy did we hoop
Aw man yeah
I've been praying for his fam
I know it's really hard on them
Man it can't be easy
I've been praying for a peace of mind
Cause...
When he died it took a piece of mine
He ain't even get to speak to his mama
He ain't even get to reach his prime
Ah!
And I know that it's all part of your plan God
But I don't understand why
Cause there goes
Another man down
Another man
Another man
Another man down
Another man
Few months ago is when I sat down and wrote this song
It's sad to say I had to wait 'til someone else was gone
I've been hoping and praying that things would start to change
But it's looking like we're living in a marathon
Same story every time I turn around
Click clack bow
There's another man down
Starting to feel like a merry-go-round
Sick of it and I want it to end now
I wanna know...
Why, why, why, why yeah
I don't understand why
Tryna hold my head high
I can't so I gotta swallow my pride
I'm 'bout to drop down on my knees and pray
We gotta make some more time yeah
They might have a gun on their waist
But I got the Lord on my side yeah
Ah!
And I know that it's all part of your plan God
But I don't understand why
Cause there goes
Another man down
Another man
Another man
Another man down
Another man down
Another man
Another man down
Another man down
A-nother man down
Another man down
Yeah yeah
A-nother man down
Another man down
Yeah yeah yeah
A-nother man down
Another man down
Yeah yeah
A-nother man down
There goes another man down
And I know it's part of your plan
But I just do not understand
I don't understand it
Why we keep killing each other
I'm the keeper of my brother
And I know that it's all part of your plan God
But I don't understand why
Cause there goes
Another man down
Click clack bow
There's another man down
