So a young man at a school is a food supervisor
He was known for being cool and for making students wiser
And at the same time he was serving appetizers
He poured into their life since the day he got hired
He gave his girl diamond a diamond is what he bought her
He was not the natural father but he still loved her daughter
So he succeeded and proposed with boldness and honor
They made the agreement that they'll be happy for tomorrow
But one day they were cruising down the road
Then the next thing a cruiser rolled up on them slow
But the best thing is for them to stay composed
And the last thing is that they did what they were told
He said "hey how you doing you got a tail light out"
"I apologize I'll get that changed out"
"If you can please proceed to get your license out"
He went to get it then the cop let them bullets out
Officers please put your guns down
My hands are up and I'm getting on the ground
I promise not to reach for a weapon now
But the choice is yours you can grant me life or shoot me down
Officers please put your guns down
My hands are up and I'm getting on the ground
I promise not to reach for a weapon now
But the choice is yours you can grant me life or shoot me down
A child asked his father what are we to do
The rent is past due and we ain't got no food
And I got four other siblings needing lunch money for school
We walking everyday and we got holes in our shoes we look to you
Well son I tell you what ima do
I'll make a promise that I'll bring all my cash to you
So I'll be selling Cd's in the late afternoon
Because of my past faults that's all that I can do
So the father takes his Cd's to sell them on the block
Then all here is freeze then approached by the cops
And the cops got a Glock and the Glock is cocked
They rushed up to his face and they commanded him to drop
So they grab him by the neck and throw him to the ground
So then he hits the deck and doesn't make a sound
But they ignored that and fired six rounds
5 children lost their father
He was trying to make them proud
Wow
Officers please put your guns down
My hands are up and I'm getting on the ground
I promise not to reach for a weapon now
But the choice is yours you can grant me life or shoot me down
Officers please put your guns down
My hands are up and I'm getting on the ground
I promise not to reach for a weapon now
But the choice is yours you can grant me life or shoot me down
Yelling black lives matter won't ever change the matter
Take a look at the news the blood continued to splatter
Black vs white I thought we already left that chapter
How we blaming one race for a demonic driven disaster
A mother sends her son to put food in a grocery basket
She didn't know they would have to put him inside a casket
So I pray for Minnesota
I pray Baton Ruge
And even when its over I refuse to act rude
And I pray for the salvation of the cops who killed them dudes
I hope when they come to Jesus they'll put that on the news
See in America its white vs black
But I guess we all one race when we get shipped to Iraq
So drop the opinions lets pick up the facts
Satan got minions and they've begun the attack
We forget how Jesus was killed as an innocent man
But he died for all colors so united we stand we say
Officers please put your guns down
My hands are up and I'm getting on the ground
I promise not to reach for a weapon now
But the choice is yours you can grant me life or shoot me down
Officers please put your guns down
My hands are up and I'm getting on the ground
I promise not to reach for a weapon now
But the choice is yours you can grant me life or shoot me down
I want to dedicate this song to the families of
Alton Sterling and Philando Castile
And any other loved ones lost
Through police brutality or citizen brutality man
But the answer to these tragedies are not violence and Segregation
We may never find peace on earth
But we can find peace if we give our lives to Jesus Christ
Lets revive
