Guns Down Life Up

Before you back out Just close your eyes before you black out

Guns down life up

Respect doesn't come because you left someone lifeless

What power are you going to gain What money will you obtain

How can you face day to day life knowing that your responsible for all the tears that comes behind death and blood stains

Guns down

Because when a trigger is pulled it doesn't only kill the victim

It kills everybody including you

No peace will come

It will only conduct more violence

Don't take a life because someone's a loud mouth and you want their voice to be silenced

Life up

25 to life means your life's up

In a cell your life's stuck because you chose to leave someone else's life struck by letting that pipe bust

Bullets are anonymous they don't have a name so innocent victims get hit because the shooter has scared nerves and bad aim it's insane

All that rage you felt for those 15 seconds will turn to a life time of regret and pain

And your name on a murder report isn't how you want to get to fame

my brother

think about your mother

how you won't be able to hug her

how you won't be able to support the house and tell her you love her

and think how your target won't get a chance to do the same

Life up

killing others isn't why Martin and Malcolm gave their lives up

Put the guns down and pick up a book It's bad enough society looks at us as crooks

as if we are only good when it comes to sports making babies and spitting a hook

You gotta dumb it down to be smart

be smooth as a fox

Because guns are a double homicide you'll both end up in a box

Guns down life up

life up put the guns down

we all believe in karma so the shots you fired off will come right back around

Death leads to more death so the toll will keep stacking

and cops do random black and Hispanic people searches so you mean to tell me 10 years a shell is worth you packing

No let's stop the cycle

use your mind as a rifle

use knowledge as bullets to load up your mind

kill the pockets of those who want to keep us down that's the perfect crime

be strong

man up

put stupidity down

and think of others so our future to raise life up and when you open your eyes

Just put that gun down

And walk away
