Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Somewhere in the world
A boy or girl is bein' buried by their mother
Somewhere in the world
There is violence, brother against brother
[Verse 2]
Do your dance, get in your zone
They can't take you out that
Do your dance, get in your zone
They can't take you out that
[Verse 3]
Every hood, every block
Somebody's dyin' over nothing
All this hatin' gotta stop
You gotta know life is worth something
[Verse 4]
So do your dance, get in your zone
No, they can't take you out that
Just do your dance, get in your zone
No, they can't take you out that
[Verse 5]
From Chicago to L.A.
Houston, Miami
All the way to St. Tropez
There's gotta be a better way, my
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta
You gotta, you gotta
Put the guns down
Put the guns down
[Verse 6]
From Chicago to L.A.
Houston, Miami
All the way to St. Tropez
There's gotta be a better way, my
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta
You gotta, you gotta
Put the guns down
Put the guns down
[Verse 7]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Do your dance, get in your zone

[Verse 9]
Kids is dyin' inna front of they house
They givin' up life, ain't no hope for they makin' it out
They fifteen, buyin' a tool
Just to feel more safe when they gotta make it home from school
'Cause you know how the innocent die
Our sons need love every week, it's a funeral, I
And we just wanna party in peace
Get the east to the west to the south side movin' they feet
Right now, movin' they feet
Right now, movin' they feet
Get the east to the west to the south side movin' they feet
Right now, movin' in peace
Right now, movin' in peace
Get the east to the west to the south side movin' in peace
[Verse 10]
Do your dance, get in your zone

Just do your dance, get in your zone
No, they can't take you out that
