[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ba-da-ba-ba, ba-da-ba-ba, ba-da-ba-ba
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
[Verse 1]
Why man gotta get shot up from a pigment?
They don't deserve it, no (Why?)
Why man gotta get up run up from suspicion?
It's abominable
How many times will it take 'til we see freedom?
Too many bodies on the floor
They never wanna give us any reason
We just take the fault
[Pre-Chorus]
Gun control; come on, seize it
On the block, gangsta livin'
Brap brap, the demons creepin'
Taking lives, no hearts beatin'
Having nightmares 'bout the bullet ('Bout the bullet)
Scary monster took a life when he pulled it (When he pulled it)
[Chorus]
I cry tears
I can't help my eyes carry fears
Wish I never seen it, wish it weren't true
'Cause when I hear dem sirens, I think of you
I cry, I cry
[Post-Chorus]
I cry tears, I can't let you go
Hurts my soul
Don't wanna believe that you gone
Hurts my soul
I cry tears, I can't let you go
Hurts my soul
Babylon is taking us all
Hurts my soul
[Verse 2]
Why man get to hold gun and think he Godly
When he on patrol? (Why?)
What man is a man if he don't feel sorry
When he lose control? (Yeah)
You act so aggressive, it's unimpressive
You'll learn a lesson inside it all
But that don't take back the way you lashed at us
'Til the madness comes to a halt
[Pre-Chorus]
Gun control; come on, seize it
On the block, gangsta livin'
Brap brap, the demons creepin'
Taking lives, no hearts beatin' (No, no)
Having nightmares 'bout the bullet ('Bout the bullet)
Scary monster took a life when he pulled it (When he pulled it)
[Chorus]
I cry tears
I can't help my eyes carry fears (No, no, no, no)
Wish I never seen it, wish it weren't true
'Cause when I hear dem sirens, I think of you
I cry, I cry
[Post-Chorus]
I cry tears, I can't let you go
Ooh, it hurts my soul
Don't wanna believe that you gone
Hurts my soul
I cry tears, I can't let you go
Hurts my soul
Babylon is taking us all
[Chorus]
I cry tears
I can't help my eyes carry fears (Ooh, yeah)
Wish I never seen it, wish it weren't true
'Cause when I hear dem sirens, I think of you
I cry, I cry
[Post-Chorus]
I cry tears, I can't let you go
Hurts my soul
Don't wanna believe that you gone
Hurts my soul
I cry tears, I can't let you go
Ooh, it hurts my soul
Babylon is taking us all
Hurts my soul 1
