Child of the Light - The Blood of Abel Speaks Lyrics

We're in need of revival, tired of fighting these rivals
At the Lord's arrival, wont have to fight for survival
Got homey's that's suicidal homicidal with assault rifles
Hollow-points for protection and some rottweilers
It's just the way it is we fighting to live
Pursue peace but police out here killing our kids
I'm optimistic though
But most folks think they voice won't make a difference though
That's how oppression rolls
Lord, I know you hear the outcry
If the blood of Abel speaks I wonder what Michael Browns really sound like
Michael Dean took a bullet to the head and fell
Tamir Rice lost life at the age of twelve
Stephon Clark took seven to the back in March
Family scarred in his own granny backyard
Yo its hard Antwon was only seventeen
The rose that never got to grow up out the concrete

Will we ever find peace?
Nah the grief won't ever cease for the Blood of Abel speaks
Rest in Peace to the fallen y'all
Will we ever find peace?
Nah the grief won't ever cease for the Blood of Abel speaks
Rest in Peace to the fallen y'all

William Green got cuffed but it wasn't enough
In the front seat of a squad car his life was snuffed
Kwame "KK" Jones was just a teen now he gone
Rest in peace Eric Logan, life stolen at fifty-four
There must be justice for Jamarion
Clearly victim of a crime, how can we carry on?
He was shot 76 times
Greg Hill Jr. was murdered in his own garage
Loud music so they mute him with a bullet barrage
Ryan Twyman was shot 34 times at 24
L.A.P.D. went on a spree that day, he's one of four
Brandon Weber was in his yard down in Memphis, Tennessee
They let of 20, he was a father of three
Yo, how can this be? We in some unprecedented times
Lord come quick, we getting clipped, organized crimes
Life ain't fair, it's not enough to lift a prayer
In a fight for survival, becoming clear we ain't welcomed here

Will we ever find peace?
Nah the grief wont ever cease for the Blood of Abel speaks
Rest in Peace to the fallen y'all
Will we ever find peace?
Nah the grief wont ever cease for the Blood of Abel speaks
Rest in Peace to the fallen y'all
