WHILES I WAS PRAYING

For every minute that I wasted
Someone else violent crime has tasted
It seems so inevitable
On these streets so predictable
People loose everyday their soul
Innocent youth increasing the toll
Standing at both sides of the drama
One pulls the trigger;
Bullet will come back to kill him ‘karma’
And nothing seems to be done about this fact
Police seems paralyze or even pleased of all that
The community seems to forget how close this is to us all
Today seems so far, tomorrow my child may be increasing the toll
Our community its skin needs to moult
Too many of our youth going to soon to the vault

Whiles I was praying
Another son was dying
Whiles I was praying
Another youth was shooting
Whiles I was praying
The helicopters keep surveying
I want to stop praying and start acting
Almighty is not listening to us
Stop singing start acting
Our sons are becoming shottas

But we leave everything up to the creator
And we hope and hope and forget about the reality
We can pray and pray and wait for almighty
Only those who help themselves will be help
So stop praying and start moving or we all be going to hell

Too many children loosing their live
Too many families feeling the negative vibe
Inundating our community with guns and drugs
Pushing our people to this situation that seems cul-de-sac

Stop praying, from your dreams you should wake up
No one is coming to save us from this mud
Shit till the knees, relying on the priest
If you don’t move your feeds
Consider yourself dismissed
Too many children born and grown on this mess
Too many youth that their future is already crash

Whiles I was praying
Someone kick on my door
Whiles I was praying
Someone was shouting more and more
Whiles I was praying
Someone lost her life
When I stop praying,
Saw my daughter closing her eyes

Where do they go? All the prayers that we do
Whiles I prayed I lost all of you
Stop praying and start acting
That’s what we should do
Stop singing and stop clapping
Too many centuries of hopes went through the loo
We are still in square zero
Tell me what you gonna do

Keep praying, keep singing, and keep clapping
Our children gonna keep dying
Start acting, start moving, and start organizing
Our children will have future, AMAZING!!!
You choose what you want to do
But remember that whiles you’re praying
Someone dies close to you
