Everyone around me is losing their lives
Doesnt anyone see the grief in my eyes?
What are all these feelings that are combining?
Most of these feelings that have been hiding.
I cant breathe, I cant speak, I cant even cry.
Im losing my faith do you know why?
Because everyone around me is losing their lives.
Drive bys, heart attacks, and suicide
Why did any of them have to go away?
Why do my tears fall every day?
For all my loved ones that had to go
The mourning and grieving I dont know how to show
All of these things I hold deep inside
I said Im okay what if I lied?
Does anyone understand how Im feeling?
I need the time for the tender healing
Because everyone around me is losing their lives
Getting jumped and killed with bloody knives
Why did my friend have to drive that far?
Why did the other guys drink in their car?
They wouldnt have killed her if they looked
Do they even care whose life they took?
Everyone around me is losing their lives
How many of you see the grief in my eyes?
Why did my grandpa go to that store?
Why cant he be with me anymore?
The day of his funeral, someone else died
Does anyone feel these tears Ive cried?
Cancer killed my first High School love
Now I pray to him and God above
One close relation,had a bad heart.
Then the Lord took me and him apart.
Everyone around me is losing their lives,
Now can you see the grief in my eyes?
Why did my closest friend get killed in a drive by shooting?
She was so young, she didnt know what she was doing.
My ninth birthday my uncle got hit by a train.
Tell my why people play this game?
My homie got shot because of the rag he was hanging,
But expect anything when you spend your life claiming.
there are so many more,but it hurts to much to speak apon.
my love for them will always be there,but unfortunatly they are still gone.
Can anybody see the grief in my eyes?
Rest in peace to all of my loved ones, who have lost their lives
