I hope a random act of violence Can bring an end to the code of silence Because a six-year-old boy was stabbed to death And his seven-year-old female companion was left With multiple stab wound injuries Now the doctors are exploring contingencies And the neighborhood is left feeling bereft Tell me what more could be left
He was just a little baby His mother cried, "Lord save me!" What’s this whole world coming to How could somebody do What they did to her only son But now that the deed has been done Will the neighbors cling to their tired code Or have the courage to unload
Things have gotten too far gone To say they’ve not would be wrong I know for some snitching is tough But when is enough, enough How many children have to die Before the police will be able to rely On someone stepping up to the plate To stop the madness before it is too late
