Pop, pop, pop, you hear dem shots going off/
You betta be duckin or you might get popped/
Its a shame to see ya parents shakin in shock/
After they find ya body lyin next to the dock/
Its a shame that it had to end up this way/
Steady hustlin on the block just to get paid everyday/
Never takin no slack in no kind of way/
As the trigga pulls back, sayin ya last prayer wishin that the world woulda just cared/

Struggling just to get by, Struggling to keep your head high/
When all you got in the world is you, its hard to teach others that have no clue/
The time is now to communicate so others dont end up wit the same fate/

Its too often said in the news and tv "there goes another brotha lost to the streets"/
The family and friends shouldn't have to live with that/
Knowing their friend could lose their life to a gat/
Think back how many times u mourned a loss for no reason/
In the hood it goes on daily without rhyme or reason/
Its sad innocents get caught in the crossfire/
Just cuz they're wearin the wrong color or attire/
Gangs killin their own cuz they think they're not down/
When really they're just lookin for a friend to be around/
Looking for love from anyone that'll listen/
Hopin they'll finally recieve what it is they're missin/

Struggling just to get by, Struggling to keep your head high/
When all you got in the world is you, its hard to teach others that have no clue/
The time is now to communicate so others dont end up wit the same fate/

Why would you wanna leave it alone when it can change for the better/
Knowing you did nothin to make this world better/
How can you live with the fact that you a quitter/
Do you want your kids to be dishonorable and bitter/
Everyone needs to do their part to show others what it is to have heart/
Cuz we all one race, we all one fam, and now is the time to show 1 LOVE/
