Testi

[Verse 1]
Can't stop, no matter how long
I gotta keep holding on
No matter how long
I gotta keep holding on
[Verse 2]
Flash, who pulled the trigger?
A boy of thirteen with a gun
[Verse 3]
Cries piercing the darkness
A mother holds her lifeless son, oh
[Verse 4]
Asking, "Why? He was your brother"
What possesses one so young?
[Verse 5]
We live in a nightmare
Tragedy has made us one
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 6]
I just wanna know
How long, how long? (Tell me, yeah)
How much more, how long
Is it gonna take?
'Cause I can't take no more
[Verse 7]
Can't stop, no matter how long
I gotta keep holding on
No matter how long
I gotta keep holding on
[Verse 8]
Where, where is my daughter?
She has not come home from school
[Verse 9]
Knock, ten after midnight
Policeman brings the tragic news, oh, no, no, no, no
[Verse 10]
Help me rise out of my darkness
Her two brother still need me
[Verse 11]
Tell me, how, how do I tell them?
This ain't how it's 'spose to be
No, no, no, no
[Verse 12]
Tell me
How long, how long? (I just wanna know how long)
How much more, how long
Is it gonna take?
'Cause I can't take no more
[Verse 13]
Tell me
I just gotta know
'Cause I can't take no more, no, no, no
(Can't stop, no matter how long)
(I gotta keep holding on) I gotta keep moving
Out of the darkness
But where am I to go?
(No matter how long)
(I gotta keep holding on) My children need me
But I can't always be there
Where I need to go
[Verse 14]
It's genocide, suicide, where's my pride?
My hands are tied (I gotta keep holding on)
Save me, help me, save me
Save me (I gotta keep holding on)
I just died, you should've seen his eyes
The promise of the future no more (Can't stop, no matter how long)
(I gotta keep holding on)
[Verse 15]
I got no money
I got no home
I got no husband
No place to go, oh, oh, oh
Lord, Lord, do you hear me, Lord, do you hear me? Yeah
