paroles de chanson Close My Eyes - Split-P-Datruth

Same story different day aint shit change
I close my eyes and pray lord take this pain away
I'm on my hands and knees begging for some peace
Mama they murdering my young brothers in these streets
How many got to die, how many got to fly
I close my eyes asking God tell me the reason why
It's hard not to cry looking at this life
Another body shot down dam this can't be life
Young and black wrong place at the wrong time
Let me guess he had a gun so gun him down
Where's the weapon?
Aint one so what now
He posed a threat all because of how he looked wow
Another child gone
Nobody sees the wrong
I can't believe this is the country that I call home
Murdered in daylight
Caught on camera right
Paid leave slapped on the risk it aint right

I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and pray
Lord take this pain away
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and pray
Lord take this pain away
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and pray
Lord take this pain away
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and pray
Lord take this pain away

But this pain runs deep see I can't sleep
When were killing our selves man it aint no peace
Auntie dry your eyes it's going to be okay
Shout out to my cousin Larry it's going to be okay
He had big dreams could of been anything
Gun down in the streets wasn't 16
Such a hard pill for me to swallow still
The good die young but not from the barrow of a gun
Shorties want they stripes doing drive by's
Taking lives watching innocent people die
In Chi-raq they dying every dam day
I pray for peace og's we got to clean our streets
Moment of silence for those who died in the streets
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and pray
Lord for one day of peace

I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and pray
Lord take this pain away
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and pray
Lord take this pain away
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and pray
Lord take this pain away
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and pray
Lord take this pain away

Yo on some real talk
This life that were living
Is a blessing from God
So who are we to tarnish such a blessing
I aint perfect lord knows I'm not
But I hope and pray that
No mother, no father, no brother, no sister
No grandma, no granddad, no aunt, no cousin
No husband, no wife, no friend, no pastor, no teacher, no coworker
Has to ever burry a love one who felled victim
To the violence of a gun for no reason
Were killing each other over
Instagram post, Facebook, wearing the wrong colors
Looking the wrong way, crossing the wrong street
Were bigger than that, Were stronger than that
We are the future and what we do today creates our tomorrow
Remember that
What we do today creates our tomorrow
Now that's a hard pill to swallow
Real talk
