Shots they ring out every night in my community

an audible testimony of another life that is soon to be either the creator or the victim of a circumstance enhance from this chance not standing there in a trance presiding over your child at the funeral or viewing believing all the lies that the media is spewing telling you that guns were meant for unlawful kill

be not a puppet to television brainwashed at there will

Persecuted and put down on the playground every single day

because when you go to school free lunch is what pays the way

but keep your nose in the books and one day you'll come out ahead

responsibilty is what is keeping the family fed

strive for the goals that you set for yourself

don't be ashamed that the aid will put the food on your shelf

please understand that a child's words can rip the soul

stay focused on Christ and stay in control

One thing is true that even people in love fight

but don't blame yourself if things don't turn out so right

you're still their child and they'll love you forever

and this in no means you become a parents lever in a marital split

where your welfare is at hand when push comes to shove

they both love you and will stand up for the best interest in the name of the family

it's not your fault in a love-gone-a -stray-tragedy
