I asked my mother why do you cry
she said your brother he just died
Well I told him not to go outside
he said he had to fight for his country's rights
But don't you know that mo-mother
don't you know that we can't stop the violence
Because the war is not over
until you can feel love, peace, and hear silence
But I smell gunpowder
God, my brother's been dead ever since
I didn't believe it, but when I saw him I was convinced
Two to the head he was already dead Lord,
I headed for revenge in the city of Port Au Prince
Screaming bro-brother
don't you know that we can't stop the violence, no-ohhhh
Because the war is not over
until you can feel love, peace, and hear silence
but I smell gunpowder
Ziares Gunpoder
LA's gunpowder
I wanna know why Christians Pray! Ya ya we do little, we do little we do little
but its still the same way. I wanna know why!
Ghetto people pray, for a new day.
ya and it's still, the same way!!! but the Preacher man told me...
Good things come to those who wait
(Good things come to those who wait) I wanna know tell me
Good things come to those who wait
(Good things come to those who wait ) We wanna know We wanna know We wanna know
PEACE PEACE bro-brother
don't you know that we can't stop the violence, no-ohhhh
Because the war is not over
until you can feel love, peace, and hear silence
but I smell gunpowder
Brooklyns Gunpowder
Shaolins Gunpowder
Uptowns Gunpowder
Jerseys Gunpowder
Even in Toronto Gunpowder (I made this up because who cares about New Zealand - No offence)
Australias Gunpowder
Brixtons Gunpowder
Even New havens gunpowder
The carnival, anything can happen. Rest in peace Rest in Peace... (fade out)
