How did a short walk turn in to a long funeral ride?
Parents search for their missing child only to find that she died
Even worst there will be no body to be viewed
Because along with the two gun shots the body was battered and bruised
Hot, fresh, 30 minutes at best
Now we have a grandmother to lay to rest
Piss poor planning lead to a botched robbery
How much did they plan to get from a woman making deliveries?
All over a woman, the result shame and embarrassment
3 brothers express their resentment and the need for vengeance
However in the process an 8 year old meets her demise
And even after one mistrial the final verdict brings tears of joy to the parents’ eyes
Lives young and old being flushed down the drain
3 are dead and 7 more will experience 25 years of pain
Purple represents power, something we need right now
To help overcome these tragic losses please show us how
Sometimes it seems you have stopped listening or may have given up
On the very same people that you love so much
First came the flood, next you said would next would be fire
But I don’t think it will be the flames, but our own selfish desire
Wants and needed, rights and wrong have become confused
What’s good and bad what we should or shouldn’t do?
God, you have become commercial, marketable, and one big show
So many churches’ you can throw a rock from one pulpit and hit 3 more
But, if you’re listening some of us have something to say
We apologies for how the world got this way
We need your help because the ones that truly believe have become extinct
We know that when you look upon this world you want to weep
Down here we often cry ourselves to sleep at night
Praying that our loved ones simply make it back from the store alright
