We need to stop

This circle of violence that spreads like disease

watching my brothers and sisters in need

Suffering through all this brutality

We need to stop

Killing each other for kicks

Hammering down cuz he owed the lick

But this ain't the time for us to be split

I know you have all this anger

That puts us in danger

But I'm asking if you'll resist.

I betting if you will wager

To do me the favor

Take your knee off my neck

Can't you see we hurt each other

So as thugs they classify others

I'm asking to watch one another

And Not break the stores of our brothers

This is the time raise a voice for the voiceless

Evaluate all our choices

Figure out what's the purpose

So that change can see disbursements

Distribute to all the hurting

That hope isn't dead it's working

That hope isn't dead it's working!

We need to stop this circle of violence,

This circle of violence

We need to stop this circle of violence,

This circle of violence

I said black lives matter

Hispanic lives matter

White live matter too

But that don't mean the same thing happens to me, happens to you

You see this skin complexion

Fitted colors flexin and just begin to assume

Because of my demeanor

And cuz his name is Cesar

You think that you know my values

But this ain't about the set

Or some triple sec

It's about our beliefs staying true

All the crying mothers

And Angry brothers

United under one roof

But please don't displace you anger

Just make sure your life's not in danger

Though must of us live life as strangers

United our voice rings greater

We need to stop this circle of violence,

This circle of violence

We need to stop this circle of violence,

This circle of violence

We need to stop this circle of violence,

This circle of violence

We need to stop this circle of violence,

This circle of violence
