Todrick Hall, Jordin Sparks - Water Guns lyrics

When I was just a little boy, me and my father
Would go out back and play a little game of cops and robbers
One day he cocked the gun and pointed at my mom and shot her
And I cried and cried with laughter after I realized it was just water
But things have changed now, the world just ain't the same now
We're frightened but we need to be enlightened, use our brain now
People pointing fingers, trying to find someone to blame now
Ashamed how the game of cops and robbers ain't a game now

These ain't water guns
And please save all our sons and daughters
What we fighting for?
Cause these ain't water guns
Water guns, no more

Look around, tell me how we ever got here
We fightin' hard, but the reasoning is not clear
Stop here, where is the love if it's not here
The solution to not getting shot here is not fear
And we can fly away on a balloon to another land
Or we can make this home, find another plan
Too much blood on these yellow brick streets
And history repeats until we can finally hold our brother's hand

These ain't water guns
And please save all our sons and daughters
What we fighting for?
Cause these ain't water guns
Water guns, no more

So take my hand in your hand
And let's stand if we can
Pray for all the fallen ones
These ain't (these ain't)
These ain't water guns


These ain't water guns
And please save all our sons and daughters
What we fighting for?
Cause these ain't water guns
Water guns, no more

Do you hear them?
These ain't water guns no more
