Jerry "Wonda" Duplessis - Gunpowder lyrics

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 [Hook:] 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 beleive 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 [Hook] 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 [pause] Pe-people [Hook] 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
