lyrics
Cuz when the temp go up, the heat coming out
Summertime, cats in the streets dumbing out
And/ stay shooting, from sun up to sundown
All we trying do, is get yall to put the guns down
or just walk it off or better yet talk it out
before the yellow tape and crime scene chalk it out
cuz when they lay in a hearse, aint no reversing it
hands stained, soul got a permanent curse on it
The worse of it, we stay killing our own
filling our chrome with bullets, for cats who live in our zone
It’s like we urban savages, trapped in a zoo
city aint safe no more, It can happen to you
and pride, got niggas riding in a coffin
Egos got babies surviving as an orphans
Anger got mothers at funerals crying often
Preachers at the pulpit, trying to soften
The pain felt, when the heart getting heavy
cuz the land getting deadly, and your mans getting buried
Over beef that was stupid, pointless and useless
The streets is deadly, temperature set on ruthless
[ stop shooting ]
Chorus
Stop dying, over beef that aint yours [ ceasefire ]
Time to stop fighting, over streets that aint yours [ ceasefire ]
Locked up in jail, over heat that aint yours
pray the next burial over east...aint yours [ ceasefire ]
