One by One

No no no

No no no

It's a shame

What a shame

Such a shame

Oooh

Damn

Damn

Oh yeah

Ooooh

Oooh-hoo-hooo

Oh damn

Oh damn

Ooooooh oh

Ohhhhh

Oh

One by one

Watch 'em go

Watch 'em come

They too young

To be staring at the barrel of a gun

Pacing to their Father's arms

To the sound of broken glass

Smoke and car alarms

One by one

Pick a drug

Pick a thug

Bust a slug

'Nother brother dead, swept under the rug

For you they call it homicide

But for us it's just another day in paradise

One by one

Geronimo

Dropping like dominoes

The good die young

It's comical but it ain't even funny though

And these the good diе young

Makes me wonder how far wе've come

One by one

It's crazy

How could a mother lose her baby

The good die young

On the daily

Turn on your television lately?

Oh and these days the good die young

Makes me wonder how far we've come

One by one

Cut them up

Rough them up

Did you really have to hit 'em up?

No

He was already down on the ground

On the ground

It's a damn shame 'cause he dead now

On the other side of town (Other side of town)

Another man stood his ground

And Jordan fell down

It's driving me wild (Driving me wild)

They ruled it a mistrial

And one by one

Geronimo

Dropping like dominoes

Haha

It's comical but it ain't even funny though

And these the good die young

Makes me wonder how far we've come (How far we've come)

One by one

It's crazy

How could a mother lose her baby

The good die young

On the daily

Turn on your television lately?

Oh and these days the good die young

Makes me wonder how far we've come

No no no no

What is the price?

Price of a life

It shouldn't matter if you're black or white

Seems like we takin' one step forward

And two steps back

I can't ignore it

It's a natural fact

Yeah yeah yeah

Begging all of our brothers

Hurting all of our children

Can't believe this is happening

It's a shame, it's a shame

It's a shame

This whole world is going insane

Geronimo

They dropping like they dominoes

It's comical this shit ain't even funny though

And these the good die young

Makes me wonder how far we've come (How far we've come)

One by one

It's crazy

How could a mother lose her baby

The good die young

On the daily

Turn on your television lately?

Oh and these days the good die young (Oooh)

Makes me wonder how far we've come

One by one

Ooooh

Eeeeeeee
