Lyrics

Left the city, my mama, she said don't come back home
 These kids 'round killin each other, they lost they minds, they gone
 They quittin' school, making babies and can barely read
 Some gone off to their fall
 Lord, have mercy on 'em
 One, two, three, four, your cousins is round' here sellin' dope
 While their daddies, your uncle is walking 'round strung out
 Babies with babies and their tears keep burning
 While their dreams go down the drain now
 (While their dreams go down the drain now)
 Are we really living or just walking dead now?
 (Are we walking dead now?)
 Or dreaming of a hope, riding the wings of angels
 The way we live
 The way we die
 What a tragedy, I'm so terrified
 Day dreamers, please wake up
 We can't sleep no more
 Love don't make no sense, ask your neighbor
 The winds have changed, it seems that they've abandoned us
 The truth hurts and so does yesterday
 What good is love if it burns bright and explodes in flames?
 I thought every living thing had love but, uh
 Are we really living or just walking dead now?
 (Are we walking dead now?)
 Or dreaming of a hope, riding the wings of angels
 The way we live
 The way we die
 What a tragedy, I'm so terrified
 Day dreamers please wake up
 We can't sleep no more
 I've seen them shootin' up funerals in they Sunday clothes
 And spending money on spinners but won't pay college loans
 And all you gangers and bangers rollin' dice and taking lives in the smokey dark
 Lord, have mercy on you
 Teacher, teacher, please reach those girls in them videos (live your life)
 The little girls just broken queens, confusing bling for soul
 Danger, there's danger when you take off your clothes
 All your dreams go down the drain girl
 Are we really living or just walking dead now?
 Or dreaming of a hope, riding the wings of angels
 The way we live
 The way we die
 What a tragedy, I'm so terrified
 Day dreamers please wake up
 We can't sleep no more
 (Lord, have mercy on 'em)
 (Have mercy on 'em)
 (Have mercy on 'em)
 (Lord, have mercy on 'em)
 (Are we really living or just walking dead now?)
 (Have mercy on 'em)
 (Have mercy on 'em)
 (Have mercy on 'em)
 We live, then we die
 And we never know, that's why
 So now, now we're gone down
 On your mark
 We live and then we die
 But we never touch the sky
 So now, now we're gone down
 On your mark
