Bloods Follow

Brothers playing ball, an argument begun
one pulled out a knife, one pulled out a gun
children playing, with no life up ahead
a shot rang out, now a child is dead
family members suffering, behind the use of guns
the shedding of blood, for what a bullet has done
retaliation is rising, in our land
listen my people, thats not gods plan

[chorus]
Brothers, you know bullets don't have no names (brotherly love, sympathise)
Yeah yeah yeah, brothers, lets stop all this madness and pain (stop the madness, stop the pain)
Lets change.

Brother, do you know what you have done?
Realize you have taken someone's son
Its a shame, your taking lives, and causing so much pain
to others, for your hurt, they're not to blame!
Oh! can't understand, you call yourself a man, with a gun in your hand
killing people in the land!

[chorus]

Mother, i see the tears falling from your eyes
i sympathize as i realize, that you have lost
someone so dear, and so precious to you
this destruction has to stop for me and you
oh! i cant understand, you call yourself a man, with a gun in your hand
killing people in the land!

[chorus]
Brothers, you know bullets don't have no names (No names, no names no, no names, no they dont)
brothers, lets stop all this madness and pain (We need to stop the madness, right now! c'mon c'mon)
Lets change.

Killing eachother, without concern or discretion
giving our kids, the wrong impression
wheres the guidance, when life is not fun
a young child walking, carrying a gun
life has to get better, were almost to the end
can't imagine the pain, when losing a friend
mothers sitting home, trying to figure out
the losing of loved ones, whats it all about?

Whats it all about? c'mon c'mon
[chorus]

Father please forgive me, because they know not for know what they do
No, c'mon, bloods and crips, stick together stick together
Stop the madness stop the pain, lets change
People all over the world, DC, Chicago, New York, Detroit, LA
Everybody. What we gotta do, is just try, try try.
