Another Brother Gone
Streets are cold, shadows in the night,
Another brother gone, lost in the fight.
Candles burn, tears hit the ground,
In the heart of the hood, where no peace is found.
We grew up together, dreams in our eyes,
Now I'm standing here, questioning why.
Bullets fly, another life lost,
In these broken streets, we pay the cost.
Another brother gone, taken too soon,
Underneath the stars, beneath the moon.
We cry out loud, but no one's there,
In the silence of the night, it's so unfair.
We used to hustle hard, side by side,
But now I'm left alone, with pain inside.
Memories haunt me, can't escape the past,
In the echo of the gunshots, nothing lasts.
We grew up together, dreams in our eyes,
Now I'm standing here, questioning why.
Bullets fly, another life lost,
In these broken streets, we pay the cost.
Another brother gone, taken too soon,
Underneath the stars, beneath the moon.
We cry out loud, but no one's there,
In the silence of the night, it's so unfair.
Light a candle, say a prayer,
For the ones we lost, who aren't here.
We keep fighting, we keep trying,
But deep down, we're all just crying.
Another vigil, another name,
Different faces, but the pain's the same.
In these darkened streets, where dreams decay,
We live with the hope that we'll find a way.
We grew up together, dreams in our eyes,
Now I'm standing here, questioning why.
Bullets fly, another life lost,
In these broken streets, we pay the cost.
Another brother gone, taken too soon,
Underneath the stars, beneath the moon.
We cry out loud, but no one's there,
In the silence of the night, it's so unfair.
For every brother gone, we stand strong,
In their memory, we carry on.
We'll keep their light, burning bright,
In the heart of the hood, we'll fight the night.
