My City Need Something

[Verse 1]

I don't know what's going on

But I know that something's wrong

And I know that lately

My city has been crazy

It's like every day somebody gone

And every time I turn around I hear them gun sounds

Cop signs man we need to put the guns down

Everybody wanna be a shooter scared to fight

So they take a life, ain't no one on one now

All of this killing, I'm like when will it stop

And it really don't help that

Don't get no help from the cops

They hear a shooting in the hood

They get late to the block

But they hear an officer down

They get straight to the block, it's crazy

I'm tired of hearing about these missing babies

Stop the killing and let's find all of these missing babies

I wrote this song 'cause I know just how it feels

To lose somebody you love and that's real, that's why

[Chorus]

I don't wanna look up, every time I look up

I can see them pictures hanging on the wall

Talking about my fam, yeah I'm talking about my dogs

Rest in peace 'em all, man I swear I miss them all

I don't wanna look up 'cause when I look up

I can see your face but I know you ain't there

Wanna call your phone but I know you won't answer

Why'd you have to go? man I swear this ain't fair

And I don't know what it is but my city need something

People killing people over nothing

I swear it's like every day I wake up

Man I hear something like

Man I miss my brother

Rest in peace my hitter

Man they took my sister

I swear we need something different but I don't know what it is

[Verse 2]

Waited all winter for this crazy summer

Who would think that they

Would take so many from us

I come from the city where they show no love

And killing innocent people man that so messed up

Good die young ain't how it's supposed to be

Every time I turn around

I lose somebody close to me

I try and hold back the tears

And be a soldier see

But memories and pain

Just seem to take a hold of me

My city need something

We need it real bad

I'm tired of yellow tape

So tired of teddy bears

I'm sick of kids growing up

Without their mom and dads

And cops killing left and right

Hey man whats up with that?

Praying for my city

Yeah it's going down

I swear in these streets

It's like a war now

You could get shot

Just from walking down the block

Little kids ain't safe

Playing on the porch now

And it's getting worse every day

I swear when your folks die

It hurts every day

And you don't even notice

When it fade away

Cuz you're so focused

On trying to take the pain away

I swear my city need a better way

And I don't think there's nothing left to say

I wrote this song

Cuz I know just how it feels

To lose somebody you love

And that's real

[Chorus]

I don't wanna look up, every time I look up

I can see them pictures hanging on the wall

Talking about my fam, yeah I'm talking about my dogs

Rest in peace 'em all, man I swear I miss them all

I don't wanna look up 'cause when I look up

I can see your face but I know you ain't there

Wanna call your phone but I know you won't answer

Why'd you have to go? man I swear this ain't fair

And I don't know what it is but my city need something

People killing people over nothing

I swear it's like every day I wake up

Man I hear something like

Man I miss my brother

Rest in peace my hitter

Man they took my sister

I swear we need something different but I don't know what it is
