Violence
Violence is sweeping the nation
Against blacks, whites, caused by simple situations
It must be stopped before it gets out of hand
And we lose all we care about in this land.
There is always violence in this place,
Violence in schools, homes, wherever you may be,
The source of this violence seems to be the family
So let’s get together and remove this awful legacy.
The violence level is way too high,
Joining gangs are one of the easiest ways to die;
If we don’t stop this violence now,
Do you see our lives getting better? How?
How can we even sleep at nights?
When the gangs are having their usual fights,
Violence against others is very wrong,
It tends to bring us down, rather than make us strong.
