Gunshots At 3 a.m.
Another kid lying dead in the street
What'd he do what could it be this time
Did he have bootleg CDs in a sack
Was he selling loosies out of a pack what's the crime
Was it the color of his skin
Or just the neighborhood that he was in
Help me lord to understand Gunshots at 3 am
It's always the story to vilify
Saying black on black or another drive-by
Call'em criminals and treat them like thugs
When we do just as many drugs
Tell me why you followed him
Did he not look right for the car he was in
Help me lord to understand gunshots at 3 am
D drone
Every citizen does deserve
Your promise to protect and serve
When you gonna do, do what's right
Are you ever gonna do what's right
This shit happens every day
Not just at night when I'm lying awake
They just want peace and unity
And to find strength in their community
They are tired of burning it all down
Just for you to hear the sound
Of a people screaming out in pain
And demanding real change this time
Help me lord to understand
Help me lord to understand gunshots at 3 am
What'd he do what could it be this time
Did he have bootleg CDs in a sack
Was he selling loosies out of a pack what's the crime
Was it the color of his skin
Or just the neighborhood that he was in
Help me lord to understand Gunshots at 3 am
It's always the story to vilify
Saying black on black or another drive-by
Call'em criminals and treat them like thugs
When we do just as many drugs
Tell me why you followed him
Did he not look right for the car he was in
Help me lord to understand gunshots at 3 am
D drone
Every citizen does deserve
Your promise to protect and serve
When you gonna do, do what's right
Are you ever gonna do what's right
This shit happens every day
Not just at night when I'm lying awake
They just want peace and unity
And to find strength in their community
They are tired of burning it all down
Just for you to hear the sound
Of a people screaming out in pain
And demanding real change this time
Help me lord to understand
Help me lord to understand gunshots at 3 am
