Another Life Goes By - Mississippi Mix

Where does hate come from
And how can we make it stop?
We got to make some changes
Before somebody else gets shot
We need to pay attention to all the helpless cries
We got to stop the madness before another life goes by

It's been going on for decades
We keep treating people wrong
Why does doing something right
Something right take so long?
We need to pay attention to the helpless cries
We got to stop the madness before another life goes by

Time ticks fast, days fly by
It can all end in the blink of an eye

Another life goes by in the game
Another mama crying tears for a baby that's slain
The pain, the drama, the government can care less if it ain't a comma
Disease is a means to green for big pharmaceutical

They're planning our demise, they got blood on their cuticles
I'm tired of funerals, now it's hard to breathe
On cameras that all can see, the police draw and squeeze
With no regard for me
It's time now, to raise a fist no lying down
Word to Migos, my people need to straightenin'
Iron out, plain as day

What good is a car that starts with no way to make?
What good is a boat for folk that get barely paid?
Minimum love mean minimum wage
Get maximum time for minimum plays
You think we were slaves
It's crazy how they try to say we're tripping
King Krizzle, Kingfish, good lord, make 'em listen

Nobody's born with hate
Hate is taught to them
How can you judge someone by the color of their skin?

We need to pay attention to the helpless cries
We need to pay attention to the helpless cries
We got to stop the madness before another life goes by

Another life goes by
Another life goes by, mm

Another life
