The people shouted no justice and no peace

It's getting pretty wicked and wild in the streets

We're frightened of the gunshots in the park

Praying that our kids come home before dark

Screaming sirens cuss the air

They're killing our kids and they don't care

It makes you wanna hang your head and cry

It makes you feel powerless inside

Took the tech 9

To the head

It was a mercy kill

And there were five found dead

Violence nine to five

I can't really say that it's great to be alive

I'm talking about the bloodshed overflow

It's moving too fast for the folks below

When reality rears it's head

Hope is lost as tears are shed

We fall prey to violence crime

Been sittin' ducks for all our lives
