shameful acts of violence committed
and there's truly something wrong.
when a child has to sit and hear words
like daddy won't be coming home.

struck down in the middle of a street
by a bullet from a gun.
racial tones widely expressed because
everybody want to be number one.

sad are the faces of family members
who has to feel the pain.
it seems it easier to take another man's
life without a moment of shame.

people has wrong buried within and
there's no doubt.
we're all dying in the middle of streets
with hatred sprawled all about.

blame is placed as to who's in the wrong
and who's in the right.
in the end it all adds up to be the same
daddy won't be home tonight.

solutions has to come about and it needs
to come really quick and fast.
we need to search for a better tomorrow
or the world just won't last.
