Tears 4 Peers
by Rawsrvnt

Album: Love Deluxe

(Chorus)
So many tears for my peers
Shot up in my city
Oh what a pity
What be going around here
The fear keep on gripping
I hope they listen
So they don't get caught
Paying high tuition
So many tears for my peers
Shot up in my city
Oh what a pity
What be going around here
The streets keep on slipping
I hope they listen
So they don't get caught
Paying high tuition

Verse 1
So many tears for my peers
Shot up in my city
For real boy
These streets even scaring the paper boy
Seems like
Tragedy comes on a day to day
Just look at what news hits the front page
Another teen dead
Leaving his friends wondering
With nothing but a what if man
What if he did this
What if he did that
Still wondering why them shot's got slung out of a gat
Seems to make no sense
But then again what does
Can't find fault in something
I don't really know cuz
But I know drugs
Can bring all sorts of problems
And money too
Has brought death to many victims
So what's it gonna take for us to learn
Seems like death is winning
So I pray for life's turn
'Cause I can hear them yearns
For peace on earth
But it can only come
When we love Him who gives birth

(Chorus)

Verse 2
So many tears for my peers
Shot up in my city
For real boy
These streets ain't safe no more
I know some cats at the corner store
Pushing some weight
And they ain't even reach 15
Oh what a shame
Cats hustling for money and fame
And few bodies wanna really do
Something to change
What we promote on the screen
Or even musically stream
Into the heads of these cats that be listening
So I feel obligated
To pray for redemption and love
So I can see the brothers escape the flames from a slug
I'm tired of all this blood
That be shed on these streets
And all these mothers and fathers that be praying
To see day
That's brighter and not filled with rain
'Cause too many peoples slain
For lack of understanding
These streets ain't safe
Man believe what I say
I seen so many people loss life
By playing this game

(Chorus)

Verse 3
Daily news flash
Tugging to get my attention
Violence
Chaos
Arguments over elections
Kids lacking love
And parents keep flexing
Out of they homes leaving the streets to raise them
So what we expect man
Some perfect harmony
When all we got is some craziness where we residing
It's wild huh
But yet it's the truth
We spend our time arguing over what the youth do
On a Thursday
Friday or Saturday night
But them we show them no different
In fact we show them it's alright
So I shine my light
In hopes for y'all to see
It's us that's responsible for this insanity
In this here ol' insane times
So I pray that this rhyme
Will be touching your mind
And provide
A way of escape
From all this mess we in
This life that's filled
With all this sin

(Chorus)

(Vamp)
So many tears
For my peers
Shot up
In my city
