Intro 


Yo, listen up

All the Gun Violence out there  

All these Guns and Police 

Dangerous place out there 

Seeing those guns bustin’ these streets 

Let me tell you all about 


GUN VIOLENCE 


Verse 1 

Back in the 60s crime rates were low

1970s people don’t follow 

saw crime rates increase by 100 percent

gun sales boomin’ wherever you went


Currently we see about 4 out of ten

Americans owning firearms that frightens

90 million Americans with firearms

Man that really alarms


Gun Control Act Passed in nineteen sixty-eight

Unfortunately the act didn’t do great

Every year about 14k are murdered

The cries of help only murmured


Every year about 8 thousand teens are shot

And the majority are forgot

Every day 90 are shot unintentionally 

And we can only hope that it improves eventually


Chorus 


Gun violence

Always an issue

Gun violence

Nobody wished to 


Gun violence 

In every corner

Gun violence

Always a horror

 

Verse 2 

Now let's talk about gun violence deaths

Every day 106 take their last breaths

Out of those 39 are murdered daily

64 kill themselves, that's just crazy


Every year about 40k die

I wonder why the rates are so high

It's just like guns have an unlimited supply

Every year 23k say goodbye (suicide)


Chorus

Gun violence

Always an issue

Gun violence

Nobody wished to 


Gun violence 

In every corner

Gun violence

Always a horror


Verse 3 


Hey man, don’t do the gun violence

Say man, don't you want silence

Tell me do you wanna end up

On the ground dead and struck


And then police pick up your body

In the ground you get buried

No medals or recognition

Go burn in hell for your position


Dead and forgotten

In a couple of years you will be rotten

Labeled as a convict 

All you are is conflict


Chorus 


Gun violence

Always an issue

Gun violence

Nobody wished to 


Gun violence 

In every corner

Gun violence

Always a horror

 

Verse 4 


Now let's take a look at gun violence causes

It’s common in people who can’t afford lodges

Or it could be caused by inequality

The way of life, the quality


Underperforming schools are also linked

One shot later and you’re extinct

It's the leading cause of blacks for death

Drugs too, opium and meth


Wealth is also key (gun violence causes)

People don't do things for free

Living in underfunded public housing

The kind of people that can’t afford browsing


Chorus 


Gun violence

Always an issue

Gun violence

Nobody wished to 


Gun violence 

In every corner

Gun violence

Always a horror

 

Verse 4

Now take a look at Gun Violence injuries

Most are caused by bad activities

Every day 210 are shot and survive

Luckily they get revived


95 are injured in an attack (daily)

But they always come back

10 survive a suicide attempt

Then they get labeled as contempt


Every year 77k survive gun injuries

33k gun injuries are mysteries

About 1k are shot by legal intervention 

But they also get medical attention

 

Outro

Yeah man, heard enough?

People out there are tough

So take all your stuff

And don't be rough
