[Verse 1]
Kid shoots up his school cause he's pissed
And he copies all of the shit that he sees
On TV with that whole screwed up box
He's got instincts on killing
17 people like the kid did
In his own home with the video game but he missed
Hit a girl barely turned 15
Then he blows his own brains man
Tell me please
How this controversy happens right now in front of me
Unbelievable to really see
Then they blame music and the movies that they gon' see
Or their parents who don't know their own kids
And I'm sick to my core, bumping Tupac Shakur
But never had violent tendencies
To my own people man and it really seems
Cowardly to be fair and discreet
These kids are misguided and it's up to me
Show them the positive shit you can be
Without losing your life with a gun and a fight
Ending others causing disbelief
And this grief man it's gon' never end
When you lost all your friends
And you can't concentrate anymore man it really seems
You drop out of school with the similar themes
And the rest of the teens who are popular in class
Tryna be queens, no longer cocky
Nobody cares about your ass
They scarred and they constantly scared
And they don't know what the fuck they gon' do next
Man I hate to tell you but they don't know what they gon' do next
[Pre Hook]
Man all them troubled minds
We pray and pray for them troubled kids
Troubled minds
We pray and pray for them troubled kids
What did they do
What did they do
Man all them troubled minds
We pray and pray for them troubled kids
Troubled minds
We pray and pray for them troubled kids
What did they do
What did they do
[Hook - Alexandra Younes]
Lift your voice up
Make it clearer
God does hear your prayers
He is here
[Verse 2]
Now comes to the part of it
When you getting bullied all day at school
You get so mad that you run through
Any motherfucken obstacle
Knock anybody down that gon' touch you
But it's a bit too late cause you bottled it up
Inside the whole time, it's dangerous
Music tryna inspire this change in us
Wow and I'm sick of it
I can't believe that I witnessed this
Gotta stand up for yourself right at the start
Nothing's gon' happen I promise that part
Remain strong you just gotta build up your heart
Cause the cruel worlds really gon' knock you down
Whichever chance it gon' get
And that's for anybody that don't make a sound
Quiet kids that don't do anything man they innocent
But they all receiving it the worst
Hope my son understands that first
Ready for that man cause it's gon' hurt
That's the part of life
You gotta graze your knees a few times
And get up wipe your eyes
And thank God that at least you really alive
At least for another day
Survive now damn with all the pain
If I did it man, you def can too
I had my own doubts I believe in you
Fuck that cutting shit, it's not right
If you really wanna live a life legit
I know things are troubling but
I'll do everything just to really see you quit
