Saigon - Bullets-19 lyrics

Ain't no way that I would let
A viral threat make me forget
That in which I suspect is the reason
That I can check
All media outlets, see the globe in a panic
I wonder how we under but
Never go over standing
A day before Corona hit
I read an article that read
200 shootings in Chicago
Predicted for tomorrow
But what I didn't see was
Politicians all over the screen
Talking 'bout a vaccine
Stopping kids from getting hit
With them hollow
But are bodies in Baltimore less
Important 'cause they poor?
They don't call for an uproar?
It's not an emergency when your
Board could count more
People that die from guns without
Going off to war if we added up the numbers
From ghettos across America
There's more deaths than the virus
And where is all the hysteria?
Niggas is social distancing
We playing our part but when it's over
I hope my kids can go play in the park
You know why? You know why? Tell 'em

Our children shouldn't have to
Run from bullets
Our children shouldn't have to
Run from bullets

They've seen too many mamas cry
On the south side so many nanas lose their
Grandsons to handguns i know we get a forced
Pride from saying "We outside"
But from the speed of a bullet, homie
You can't run just imagine it
We don't get a grip on the establishment
Your kid will never get to be a graduate
Someone put a gun to your
Son' head and splattered it
You up in the hospital asking
Doctors "How bad is it?!"
That was the incentive of using
This poetry as power it's preventive
Shout me out in your mentions
I ain't try'na get deep I
Just got with other dimensions
Music is the cure
Mind's pure is my intention
These rappers use it as a damn gimmick
Us killing each other is
Worse than the pandemic
Some hurt you just can't mimic
My condolences go to everybody that lost one
So why you loading that gun
Listening to my song, son?

Our children shouldn't have to
Run from bullets
Our children shouldn't have to
Run from bullets we gotta change
