Gunpowder |
| I asked my mother, why do you cry? |
| She said your brother, he just died |
| Well I told him not to go outside |
| He said he had to fight for his country’s right |
| But don’t you know that mo-mother |
| Don’t you know that we can’t stop the violence, no |
| Because the war is not over |
| Until you can feel love, peace, and hear silence |
| But I smell gunpowder (pow) |
| My brother’s been dead ever since |
| I didn’t believe it, but when I saw him I was convinced |
| Two shots to the head he was already dead Lord |
| I headed for revenge in the city of Port Au Prince |
| Screaming bro-brother |
| Don’t you know that we can’t stop the violence, no |
| Because the war is not over |
| Until you can feel love, peace, and hear silence |
| But I smell gunpowder (pow) |
| Zion’s gunpowder (pow) L.A.'s gunpowder (pow) |
| I wanna know why Christians pray for a new day |
| (We don’t need no, we don’t need no, we don’t need no) |
| But its still the same way |
| I wanna know why ghetto people pray for a new day Hey, hey, heeey |
| And its still the same way |
| But the preacher man told me |
| Good things come to those who wait (Do good things come to those who wait?) |
| I wanna know tell me |
| Good things come to those who wait (Do good things come to those who wait?) |
| We wanna know, we wanna know, we wanna know |
| Pe-people |
| Don’t you know that we can’t stop the violence, no |
| Because the war is not over |
| Until you can feel love, peace, and hear silence |
| But I smell gunpowder (pow) |
| Brooklyn’s gunpowder (gunpowder) Shaolin’s gunpowder (gunpowder) |
| Uptown’s gunpowder (gunpowder) Jersey’s gunpowder (gunpowder) |
| Even New Zealand’s gunpowder (gunpowder) Australia’s gunpowder (gunpowder) |
| Brixton’s gunpowder (gunpowder) Even New Haven’s gunpowder |
