Lyrics

Maybe one day we'll wake up

I'm tired of seeing my brothers out here dead in the streets man

For nothing really

How you gonna be my brother if you wanna kill me

Shoot me in the head stab me in the back

Am I my brothers keeper

Yes I am

Me that is

OD holler

I'd give my life not to see

Another brother suffer

One cuffed one dead in the morgue under the cover

Now what was the reason

One behind bars and the other not breathing

And I'm still not believing

Murder was the case on that Sunday evening

Two colors they was beefing

Now that semi automatic got that boy momma grieving

Cause her son fell victim to the chrome

Cause her son never ever coming home

Sixteen shots put him in a box deep in the earth

Corpse covered up with rocks and uhh

That other man glad to see

Two brothers gone but we the one suffer from the tragedy

Young boys in correctional facilities

You man enough to kill accept the punishment and let it be

I don't want to see my people suffer no more

And I don't want to see my brothers dying no more

And I don't want to see my mothers crying no more

And I just got to I just got to

Hold On to you Hold On to you

Motionless body laid stiff on the asphalt

Rhythms of rapid fire weapons brutal assault

Homie hit by four slugs in his mug he's D.O.S

Dead on the scene hot lead shattered his chest

Nevertheless that's another brother gone

Hot Saturday morning dressed in black with the suits on

Everybody getting gone quick

And every time I turn around another brother getting dealt with

Shit

It kind of makes me wonder

I know it sounds sort of crazy but I wonder how I'm going under

Cause it's a thin line

Between life and death cherish your days cause a second only separate

Every being from eternal sleep

Thou should not kill so why everybody got heat

My peeps

We living on the border

Days of torture we trying to send each other to the coroner

I don't want to see my people suffer no more

And I don't want to see my brothers dying no more

And I don't want to see my mothers crying no more

And I just got to I just got to

Hold On to you Hold On to you

He was totally taken by surprise eyes wide that's the way he died

Cause a bullet broke his stride he was

Gracefully blazed by a bullet from a black man gun play mid day

My brothers died a wrong way

Parental guidance defiant as an adolescent

Punished as a juvenile some homies never learn they lesson

Disrespecting and stressing his moms out

Peers played the big part they turned his young ass out

Searching for love he could've got at home

Feeling grown danger zone

He lived by the forty chrome

A young brother only eighteen

Making a living on the street serving dope fiends

But nineteen he would never see

Shot by a friend should've been foe something like sleeping with the enemy

Surprisingly we knew his death came

He never thought that it'd a be a friend that shattered his frame so Hold On

I don't want to see my people suffer no more (we gotta Hold On)

And I don't want to see my brothers dying no more (we must Hold On)

And I don't want to see my mothers crying no more (everybody Hold On)

And I just got to I just got to

Hold On to you Hold On to you

That's why we gotta be wise out here y'all

Sometime they'll let one man make a million to mess up the mind of a million more

But we gotta rise above all that

We done suffered to long

And we're making ourselves suffer

Hey we gotta wake up man

We must wake up

Everybody just Hold On

Savior coming real soon

Wake up you all
