Where violence went wrong
So I’m sitting in my room all alone
Wondering and wondering
Where violence went wrong
Was it when Tupac was supposedly killed by Suge Knight?
People really to take a stand then right?
Or was it when that boy shot up his School
Sending out the message that violence rules
Or was it not even last year
When gangbangers and drug dealers corrupted us with fear
I think, that I’m beginning to see
That the reason violence continues
Is because of you and me
Let’s take a look back at what society did
In November of 2010 when a man
Killed his own kid
Didn’t know that did you
That’s because that’s something higher power
Didn’t need to get through to you
You see, they need you not to fully understand
All the violence in the community and the power it demands to
Overcome it
Well it’s time to take a stand like they did when king died
Nonviolence didn’t last for long but at least they tried
You want to know how the shame of violence became known to me
I think it was when I heard about a boy being shot for carrying tea
It also became known that racism was back
Because the reason for his death is because his ethnicity was black
Violence
Has taken over peoples brain cells
And now they’re locked up in jail cells
Yet they continue to sell
And to make it worse
They talk about it in songs like its ok
But because of that message
People are dying everyday
You see when violence can exist in the rhythm of a song
That’s when you know
Where violence went wrong
