| Left the city, my mama, she said don’t come back home
|
| These kids round killing each other, they lost their minds, they gone
|
| They quitting school, making babies, and can barely read
|
| Some gone on to their fall, Lord have mercy on them
|
| 1,2,3,4, your cousin’s here round here selling dope
|
| While they daddy, your uncle, is walkin' round, strung out
|
| Babies with babies, and their tears keep burning
|
| While their dreams go down the drain now
|
| (While their dreams go down the drain now)
|
| Are we really living, or just walking dead now?
|
| (Are we walking dead now?)
|
| Or dreaming of a hope riding the wings of angels?
|
| The way we live, the way we die
|
| What a tragedy, I’m so terrified
|
| Daydreamers please wake up
|
| We can’t sleep no more
|
| Love, don’t make no sense
|
| Ask your neighbor
|
| The winds have changed, it seems
|
| That they’ve abandoned us
|
| The truth hurts, and so does yesterday
|
| What good is love, if it burns bright and explodes in flames
|
| (I thought every living thing had love, but are)
|
| Are we really living, or just walking dead now
|
| (Are we walking dead now?)
|
| Or dreaming of a hope riding the wings of angels?
|
| The way we live, the way we die
|
| What a tragedy, I’m so terrified
|
| Daydreamers please wake up
|
| We can’t sleep no more
|
| I’ve seen them shooting up funerals in their Sunday
|
| Clothes (Ya!)
|
| And spending money on spinners, but won’t pay college
|
| Loans (Ya!)
|
| And all you gangers and bangers
|
| Rolling dice and taking lives in a smoky dark
|
| Lord have mercy on them (Ya!)
|
| Teacher, teacher, please reach those girls in them
|
| Videos (Live your life)
|
| The little girl’s just broke, and queens’s confusing
|
| Bling for soul
|
| Danger, there’s danger
|
| When you take off your clothes
|
| All your dreams go down the drain, girl
|
| Are we really living, or just walking dead now
|
| Or dreaming of a hope riding the wings of angels?
|
| The way we live, the way we die
|
| What a tragedy, I’m so terrified
|
| Daydreamers please wake up
|
| We can’t sleep no more
|
| Lord have mercy
|
| Have mercy
|
| Have mercy
|
| Lord have mercy
|
| Are really living, or just walking dead now
|
| Have mercy
|
| We live, then we die
|
| And we never know, thats why
|
| So young, now we’re gone
|
| Now are you gone?
|
| We live, then we die
|
| But never touch the sky
|
| So young, now we’re gone
|
| Now are you gone?
|
| Its now time for you to come home, my dear
|
| You’ve been gone long enough
|
| Thank you
|
| We must come, we must go! |
