Illustrait - We Always Have A Choice lyrics

[Hook] We always have a choice At least I think we do Always tried so hard I thought this to be true [Verse 1: Illustrait] (crying) Mother crying tears As her young child sleeps deceased in a coffin Tears shed she lost her offspring Think bout it tell me there ain't a problem We dont get to see the young child blossum Now i have a dream like Martin Luther King Speak for peace on what our future brings Guardian angel be spreading there wings I feel the need the sooner we think About the consequences and our actions The sooner we have compa**ion Forget stupid over reactions Some k**ed for no reason Ask Trayvon Martin Shot for wearing a hoodie Its a part of fashion Truthfully Peace is what our future needs No more blood shed on streets Your minds the weapon I'm tryna teach Make the right choices can't you see Blinded by what a weapon leaves Shots off More families mourn black ties and funerals Another loss All this gang lifestyle is more than a rumour mill Taking the precious gift of life That was once beautiful [Hook] [Verse 2: Illustrait] Violence can we see a future without violence Seen so much many suffer in silence Pulling on our heartstrings like violins Families mourn a loss crying Praying dear lord wish it would stop Stop the violence (oh god) Choices we make it ain't all hip hop Hearing the sirens Another lost sheep from a flock No survival Begging forgiveness from god There is no honour in d**h at all Now you say you now live with regrets When a family lives with a d**h Hope it eats your conscience Hope you expose the accomplice Still no statements or correspondence Police reports on crime not bothered Innocent nothing related if honest On the lives lost i make this solum promise Guns down no weapon shall prosper Guns down whats the possesion taught us Some how no confession at all Stray bullet d**h of a toddler [Hook] [Verse 3: Illustrait Another day we mourns a loss Swear lord whats stopping us Is it d**h before disnonor At what cost Or are we just lambs to the slaughter We k** eachother this needs addressing now God were in need of a blessing now More lost souls people forgetting how Put down the weapon put down the piece Put down the knives Fight for peace fight for rights You wanna risk your life Join an army Still marching n k**ing Its alarming How you risk lives When theres starving children Innocent lives, living militant fights Fighting immigrant plights Starvation across the globe Heart breaking how to cope Lost souls lost along the road So many wanna g**n going for throats like hang man Made the cities a gang land a rural britian like afghan So listen im adressing the hatred Making a statement Letting go the patients [Hook] You got blood on your hands now face it Hope your pleading to God Rubbing those rosary beads raw Putting faith on a cross For God's sake when does it stop When were the ones in a black suit & a tie When were the ones that sadly died When our families are asking why When our families the ones to cry Only then will we hear a final reply A shot fired single bullet whizzing by Caught in the corner of my eye One shot one bullet (gun shot) Another loss how stupid Mistaken identity ruthless To a jesus piece turnt judas Truth is guns should be banished Saying that poverty did the damage Sorry won't reprimand what happend Im tryna an*lyze the weapon handled Tryna verbalise the scandal Going through other channels Turning tvs off seen enough I'm writing my words with black ink So it cuts real deep & it makes you think [Outro] Why is it we always gotta mourn a loss Why is it karma comes with. a cost If u don't wear armour u take the shots Breathe it in with honour can it stop Happens all the time can the guns drop OFF THE MIXTAPE PROGRESSION & GROWTH Vol. 1
