Shot and killed today
Never even had a chance
Seventeen and high
Threw away his life
Has a gun to feel like he's a man
Can't have it any other way
Laying in the street
Asking for a drink
Doesn't have a place to live
Pregnant at thirteen
Still can hear the screams
Something that she never will forget
Can't have it any other way
I'm trying to open my mind
So you can keep your faith
And I'll just walk away
There's no reason for me to stay
I'm trying to open my mind
I'm trying to make my mind
Four-year-old at play Shot and killed today Never even had a chance Seventeen and high Threw away his life Has a gun to feel like he's a man Can't have it any other way Laying in the street Asking for a drink Doesn't have a place to live Pregnant at thirteen Still can hear the screams Something that she never will forget Can't have it any other way I'm trying to open my mind So you can keep your faith And I'll just walk away There's no reason for me to stay I'm trying to open my mind I'm trying to make my mind Explain Request ×
