R.I.P. to all those who passed away recently from knife crime
The good die young (die young)
This one's for you
I could never take someone's life in my lifetime
How can these heartless people commit knife crime?
How can you take a brother from another, a son from his mother?
Leaving the loved ones' to suffer
I'm from a place where knife crime is taken worse
One brother murdered, then it gets even worse
Another one gets murdered in the same week
Now, it's left me speechless, don't even speak
That same night, I went out with Amey
Mom was like, "Why you goin' out late?"
She was worried 'cause of what they show on the TV
The next one to get stuck could have been me
My face dropping, my heart sunk when I heard the news
R.I.P. Depzman, my heart goes out to you
I didn't know you, but I hope you're in a better place
I'm wishing for better days, so I just wanna say
"Appreciate life, you never know when it's your time to go
Outside on the streets, it's getting very cold
Most people carrying weapons, it's no joke
Parents can't control their kids, there's no hope"
Appreciate life, you never know when it's your time to go
Outside on the streets, it's getting very cold
Most people carrying weapons, it's no joke
Parents can't control their kids, there's no hope
We shouldn't blame anyone but ourselves
'Cause it's us around here that's killing someone else
We need to stop this, no more lives should be taken
'Cause at the end of the day we're one nation
Imagine wakin' up, even your loved one died
Or if that was you who got killed that night
'Cause someone thought they're 'bout to carry a knife
And ended up taking a young man's life
Day by day, the world is getting cold out
Before your life starts, it's already over
As time passes by, death is getting closer
You really think killing someone makes you a soldier?
First it was Hassan then Azim now Depz
You never know when you're gonna meet your death
Now, could be the moment when you take your final breath
So, lay down your weapons and just give it a rest
Appreciate life, you never know when it's your time to go
Outside on the streets, it's getting very cold
Most people carrying weapons, it's no joke
Parents can't control their kids, there's no hope
Appreciate life, you never know when it's your time to go
Outside on the streets, it's getting very cold
Most people carrying weapons, it's no joke
Parents can't control their kids, there's no hope
On the streets, it's just a mess
Carryin' a knife won't bring you success
Stabbin' a man, right in the chest
Tryna act bad just like the rest
What is wrong with this community?
All I'm asking for is unity
Rest in peace, you may be gone
But you'll always be remembered
And you'll never be forgotten (forgotten)
