People, Wake UP!
People, it’s time for us to wake up
And admit end times are near
Everything happening in the world today
Can make you walk in fear.
Fear of walking down the street
Not knowing what violence you’ll face,
Fear of not knowing if you’ll be next
In danger because of your race.
Fear of being taken out
By virus or disease,
Fear of being shot by anyone
Who purchased a gun with ease.
A shooter filled with hate, killing black people
As they shopped in a neighborhood store,
Shootings taking place almost everywhere
Is rocking us all to the core.
Killing our kids while they’re in school?
In shock, “How can this be?’
Robbing them of their chance to grow up
And seek the dream they see.
So, yes, clamp down on gun control
But there’s still one scary thought,
If you don’t crack down on illegal guns
The laws are all for naught.
So here we are trying to find a solution
To keep us ALL out of harm's way,
Whenever things get this out of control
All we have left is to PRAY.
