lyrics

Whether its gang or drug related/ thugs with silly hatred, loved to kill each other but why? No reason/ and judging by the pace that they're going, ain't no signs of them slowing they're roll up, look baby just hold up/ take six, we gotta keep spreading them more love/ before they feeling lost rejected and more blood/ spills into the street/ I still can feel the heat/ the hatred that boils over and spills in to the beats/ beef becomes the meat of the masses/ the meek shall inherit an earth soaked with tears/ and stained with the blood of they peers, should we abstain from the fight, and see the land covered in caskets/ cause love is like a phoenix, that's laying there under the ashes/ waiting for a chance to rise and reek havoc/ conquer all the hearts and minds of all the people, lets stand in one accord, unite as we chant it/

This one for Mike Brown, this one for Jordan Davis, This one for Trayvon Martin, This one is going crazy/ Its like the purge when we headed in the streets/ its the year of the hunger games/ haves and the have nots/ All I do is save souls, never will I ever stop/ More murder in the Chi, then in the Middle East/ So let us pray for peace, that's what we all need/ Trust in the Lord with all our heart and we shall succeed/ gotta believe bruh, cause that's a better way/ instead of breathing death in my lines I breathe life/ so shorty make a choice, right or the wrong way/ I live for Jehovah, Imma stand on the right way/ ganstas, hustlers, ballers, stand up/ we gotta make a choice for the kids that's behind us/ where do we go from here/ only God knows/ praying for a better way and hoping for an outcome/


Chorus:
Gangsters, hustlers, ballers, listen, before you pay the cost, pay attention/ you gotta choose love (Choose love), choose life (Choose life), stand strong (Stand Strong), unite (Unite)/ they coming from the east, west, south north/ no matter the hood man you still got a choice to choose love, choose love

Them crabs in the barrel got the barrel aimed/ new pyramid schemes, that's that pharaoh game/ while we worried bout Hoover and Homewood/ the ghost of Doe B saying to watch them brothers in your own hood'/ them backstabbers is back at it/ that's just another cut from the OJays/ so run it back/ ain't no faking the self hatred, sipping from the cup of their own rage/ destructive in both ways/ what doesn't heal me, kills you/ so I don't feel I get to still get to choose- love/ so I'm in love with death, happy Valentine, funeral bouquets/

With the same hatred that put the Lord Jesus on the T up./ They tee off 'fore they can get they tea on/ Turn the T on/ they claim to fame put Cain to shame/ no names that gang bang, either they slang or slain/ my sixth sense spit gets gone with the quickness/ you gotta watch where you wear them 6s/ bad choices ruin good times/ like lives ruin good rhymes/ I ain't gotta imagine the young boys with his pants saggin'/ he used to wanna train his dragon, now he chain draggin', chains draggin'/ He just high off them hallucinogens/ we just turn a blind eye and throw a deuce in the wind/ dudes you used to be cool with, went to school with/ see him on the news, Po's caught him with a tool kit/ life imitates music/ or the other way around/ still weighin' the elevator down/ just a slave to ya rage like Solange and Ray/ but run up on a A-K and turn to lingerie/ we can keep mowing each other like some lawns in May/ or put the heat down, press up ya palms and say, I choose life
