Keep Going


Where’s my brother, where’s my father, we lost another

They tell us they’re sorry, and that they feared for their lives

But if you listen well, their cheers say otherwise

I can’t breathe! Help!

The news of their death pops up on T.V.

Oh no, keep going it’s only one more

Where're our people’s mindsets

Oh their death’s hit me to the core

Mother’s hearts soaked in anxiety and pain,

While society slowly becomes insane

Lies calm our needs and cries for help

But it’s ok, keep going, we only lost another.
