Black Violets
Dark ebony glossy coffin
Beautiful black violet
Brothers killin brothers
Black on black violence
Gunshots pierce the air
The cold chill of silence
The dark veil of agony
The wailing of the sirens
Respect and loyalty
Streets of defiance
Gang initiated homies
Showin their alliance
Retaliation, enemies
Killin is so mindless
Blood-filled gutters
Tattooed eyelids
Ripped out eye sockets
Then it's total blindness
Billowing out the dark smoke
Choking out the brightness
Violets, is there any hope for us
Or, are we to destroy ourselves
Violence, is there any hope for us
We should know ourselves
We should know ourselves
We should know ourselves
We should know ourselves
Black on black violence
Is there any hope for us
We should know ourselves
The valley of death
Will we walk without guidance
I lay this flower on ya casket
Pray the angels find us
Another brother dead
His body cold and lifeless
I pray his soul finds peace
I rebuke this sinful virus
Will these restless Westside streets
Do something 'bout this crisis
And break the chains of evil
That hold us back and bind us
Will we ask for forgiveness
And seek all that is righteous
And show you great mercy, God
We will turn to your likeness
Will we give up the wages of sin
To gain all that is priceless
Cross nailed eternal promise
That remains timeless
Violets, is there any hope for us
Or, are we to destroy ourselves
Violence, is there any hope for us
We should know ourselves
We should know ourselves
We should know ourselves
We should know ourselves
Black on black violence
Is there any hope for us
We should know ourselves
Beautiful black violet
Brothers killin brothers
Black on black violence
Gunshots pierce the air
The cold chill of silence
The dark veil of agony
The wailing of the sirens
Respect and loyalty
Streets of defiance
Gang initiated homies
Showin their alliance
Retaliation, enemies
Killin is so mindless
Blood-filled gutters
Tattooed eyelids
Ripped out eye sockets
Then it's total blindness
Billowing out the dark smoke
Choking out the brightness
Violets, is there any hope for us
Or, are we to destroy ourselves
Violence, is there any hope for us
We should know ourselves
We should know ourselves
We should know ourselves
We should know ourselves
Black on black violence
Is there any hope for us
We should know ourselves
The valley of death
Will we walk without guidance
I lay this flower on ya casket
Pray the angels find us
Another brother dead
His body cold and lifeless
I pray his soul finds peace
I rebuke this sinful virus
Will these restless Westside streets
Do something 'bout this crisis
And break the chains of evil
That hold us back and bind us
Will we ask for forgiveness
And seek all that is righteous
And show you great mercy, God
We will turn to your likeness
Will we give up the wages of sin
To gain all that is priceless
Cross nailed eternal promise
That remains timeless
Violets, is there any hope for us
Or, are we to destroy ourselves
Violence, is there any hope for us
We should know ourselves
We should know ourselves
We should know ourselves
We should know ourselves
Black on black violence
Is there any hope for us
We should know ourselves
