Youth of the Day

Put down all these weapons 

Tell me what you reckon 

That a knife or a gun will do for you .

Trying to be a bad boy

Now you stuck in handcuffs 

And your feeling like a fool.

I know the streets arent easy 

Please believe me 

Just put away your tools 

Thinking that your hard because your with your crew

Now your locked up in a room .

Put away the guns and knives

Clean up all these streets

PUT AWAY THE GUNS AND KNIVES 

CLEAN UP ALL THESE STREETS

A knife will slice your life 

A gun will end your life

 

A little background info ... im a born and bred brit( means im english) and of lately ive lost many friends to the streets of the uk, even in the us the violence between the youth and in relation to gangs is way to much . lets #standup & #speakout
