[Intro] Yeah... Same city, different blocks. Same pain. [Verse 1] Nine on the dresser, Bible by the bed, Another young soul, another mama stressed, Candles on the corner, names on a shirt, We keep losing people, but we never learn. One block over, better watch where you go, Same damn city, but they call you a foe, We blame the gun when another one dies, But a gun ain't got hate, a gun ain't got pride. [Pre-Chorus] Look what we made people do, Me against me, you against you, Too much blood, too many mothers— Why we kill instead of love one another? [Chorus] Nine milli', .45, Everybody tryna make it home alive, Seven-six-two, five-five-six, Ain't none of those choosing who they hit. One block left, one block right, One block difference between death and life, Put that pride down, think about your brother— Stop killing each other, start loving one another. [Verse 2] Yeah, I got mine, I believe in that right, But that don't mean somebody gotta die tonight, It's people making choices, anger and pride, One little trigger can't decide a damn life. We came from nothing, now we're losing it all, Another RIP getting sprayed on a wall, You take one of theirs, they take one of yours, Tell me what the fuck are we fighting for? [Chorus] Nine milli', .45, Everybody tryna make it home alive, Seven-six-two, five-five-six, Ain't none of those choosing who they hit. One block left, one block right, One block difference between death and life, Put that pride down, think about your brother— Stop killing each other, start loving one another. [Bridge] I've got sins, I've got pride, I've had anger eat me alive, But pulling that trigger won't make shit right— Just another mama crying tonight. [Final Chorus] Nine milli', .45, I just wanna see my people stay alive, Seven-six-two, five-five-six, Think before you throw your whole life away for this. One block left, one block right, Shouldn't mean the difference between death and life, We already lost too many sisters and brothers— Stop killing each other... Start loving one another. [Outro] Yeah... A gun ain't got hate. A gun ain't got pride. The choice is ours.
