Somebody Is Killing Our Children

Somebody is indiscriminately Shooting our children, our babies There are too many dead bodies Lying in the streets, in the alleys Somebody is killing our elderly Without a cause Without a pause. Somebody is massively Killing our brothers and sisters Somebody is targeting our elders Disturbing our peace And destroying our lives and future Somebody is hurting Mother Nature. Somebody is trying killing us Somebody is using deadly force Against us. Somebody is hurting us Straight to our guts, Somebody hates us. There are too many criminals in the streets And too many innocents wrongly incarcerated We are burying our babies too young, from the cribs We are living in a world full of hate and hatred Somebody is arbitrarily killing our children It’s prematurely too early for them to head to heaven.
