No Intentions Needed


 

Please, violence stop
Stop the violence
Stop the crying
Stop the lying now
Please stop
These men are showing
Women are hurting
Children are dying now
I have to save the people
So many girls are screaming
Searching for a love in all the wrong places
And this damn world was never equal
We need to lead us
Our generation won't heal each other
Our generation just judges and kill each other
Our generation needs to love one another...our generation
 
White fighting black
America go back
Kicking on floors
Ladies don't feel insecure
A world who could care for the rich
Racism isn't done
Lost souls in the wind
Love's lost now
In our generation we forgot
That love doesn't mean hurting the lover that you've got
But would it be too late for us to fly now
In all of our doubt
Look at our world now
Just take a hard look around
 
Victims of innocent love
Watching as hurting as they
And honestly our generation has failed
It's so sad that our woman are being raped
This world is so wrong
These men are showing
Women are hurting
Children are dying 
 
White fighting black
America go back
Kicking on floors
Ladies don't feel insecure
A world who could care for the rich
Racism isn't done
Lost souls in the wind
Love's lost now
In our generation we forgot
That love doesn't mean hurting the lover that you've got
But would it be too late for us to fly now
In all of our doubt
Look at our world now
Just take a hard look around
 
Can't we all love all
Can't we all just say
To the millions of children lost
In our war everyday
Can't we all love all
Can't we all just say
To the millions of children lost
In our war everyday
Said can't we all love all
Can't we all just say
To the millions of children lost
In our war everyday
Can't we all love all
Can't we all just say
To the millions of children lost
To the millions lost
In all of our doubt
In all of our doubt
Look at our world now
In all of our doubt
Please, violence stop
Stop the violence
Stop the crying
Stop the lying now
Please, violence stop
These men are showing
Women are hurting
Children are dying now
I have to save the people
Look at our world now
 
And I turn up my telephone 
I watch on my television, own
This hint is wind in my mind
I see the kids in the streets, without a father or food to eat
And it does make me cry, just knowing that the struggle is deep
A mother's disregard, a child's broken arm
And society knows
That our generation does not love each other
We have to live as one, people
And everyone's rights need to be equal
Cause if not, the world will not change in it's own
 
Peaceful taken, not a young life
And where are you when I cry
Our generation has irrelevancy, people judge I
Leave me alone, try living this life
I innocently questioned why, to a boy dragged at night
And now there is no asking you
Incapable, I can't refuse
When I saw him, I prayed and cried
Although, it's hard to comply
And now you can no longer run
Can't see what this world has become
What did these soldiers kill them for?
If there is no peace, this world has wars
And it's the innocent who sacrifice, the bad people continue living their life 
Without a mother or a crib
She has no plan on where to live
We are selfishly standing by, watching kids and females die
And people quit saying we're a choice
We have a right, two feet, a voice 
Help us God, show us the light
Make the world a better place overnight
 
A world in war, where's the universe?
My sky is falling, and the only thing that can save our life, is understanding and acceptance 
And for all the girls who are insecure, just got remind yourself, an opinion is never a fact, everyone is beautiful
 
A child is born
Into a home
Of violence alone
Where did love go?
 
Love is my home 
Prayers I've spoke
A child is born
Of poverty alone
 
Out of the darkness
Pray for the hopeless
Minorities suffering from the struggle
 
Fractured our streets
And broke all our dreams
It feels like defeat
Standing on both feet
And we struggling
Just to live and eat
And we suffering because of hypocrisy 
We should not wait
This can not be fate
Save the world today
 
So many wars
Millions left poor
All that we've been through
We hope to drink water that's pure
Wind blows away
Blessed everyday
Love is the answer for problems today
But we not just leaders
Not broken down dreamers
Jesus please lead us
And he will teach us
Don't let them control us
They will never know us now
We can still find the love for today
And we struggling
Just to live and eat
And we suffering because of hypocrisy 
We should not wait
This can not be fate
Save the world today
 
I hate the fact that woman are the ones who are covering
No assistance or love from our government
And millions of poor people are still struggling
Don't assume that racism will kill trust again
See we can save a world from a broken heart
And in my heart of hearts
We shine the brightest overcoming our scars
Don't even think that there are children with supporting fairs
The definition of a mom providing love and care
We have to know that people on this Earth will die again
I want to be the reason that they're beautiful flag will rise again
Damn...damn...damn
This world is wrong
Up in the projects drugs sold
Surrounded by evil
How could you roll stones?
The world need to change
And we dying in vain 
Please do not die all alone
A cry out for help
But the fathers are gone
Kids don't do drugs or lie
It's sad that Avonte Oquendo died
Stay with his child
America has a high percentage of crime
The America dream should've already been realized
Please do not cry for the victim
Love is all the world is missing
And she told me pray
And I won't feel afraid
And I pray so that all of our sins could be forgiven
God save our generation
Rescue all the children
Corrupted addictions that nobody knows
Dedicated this Brandon and Chris 
And rest in peace to Carlissa's soul...7.0.1
