Let them live
(Intro)
Let them live
Why do we have to kill
Let them live
Why do we have to kill

Verse 1
I am so broken ?? hearted
Don't even know where it started
How do you react
To an elegant color BLACK
Why are we being judged by our skin
Thought we were out here to win
Instead of always blaming others
We have to blame each other
Jealousy and intimidation is real
No longer happy for each other
Just trying to kill
Not making it past 25
Short lived
We need our land to heal

(Chorus)
Let them live
Why do we have to kill
Let them live
Why do we have to kill

Verse 2
We got to learn to have each other's back
To get this nation back on track
It's sad it's not to late
What are we doing
A world full of hate
A baby girl robbed of her life at 8
A few more lost their lives so suddenly
Who would've been great
Great lawyers doctors and so much more
Tell me how did they end up in somebody's morgue?
How are we shooting destroying things and looting
When asking children what they want to be when they grow up
They said alive
Broke my heart I just cried
No future just wanted to survive
Let's change that
Give them the tools to be whatever they want to
(Chorus)
Let them live
Why do we have to kill
Let them live
Why do we have to kill

Bridge
I'm tired of the hate
Let's all be great
Put the Lord first
We are grateful it could be worse
(Repeat 1x)

Chorus

Let them live
Why do we have to kill
Let them live
Why do we have to kill

Repeat 2x until chorus fades
