Don't Blink Lyrics

Man down

Tell all your people to stand down

Picked the guns up put the hands down

I guess that's what make you a man now

No

Ain't gotta think like a soldier

I can feel death moving closer

Good people not getting older

Feel like you blink and it's over

Man down

Tell all your people to stand down

Picked the guns up put the hands down

I guess that's what make you a man now

No

Ain't gotta think like a soldier

I can feel death getting closer

Good people not getting older

Feel like you blink and it's over

Won't nothing change til we change it

My city been getting more dangerous

I think it's just closer to home now

It's easy ignoring the strangers

Got friends that won't ready to die yet

I just keep praying I'm not next

Spending time changing my mindset

Things keep on getting more complex

It really feel like a war

I know that there's gotta be more

This is a problem to big to ignore

It's way too familiar I seen it before

Focused on making a difference

Just wanna change our statistics

Are we surviving or living

Life is too short

It can be gone in an instant

Man down

Tell all your people to stand down

Picked the guns up put the hands down

I guess that's what make you a man now

No

Ain't gotta think like a soldier

I can feel death moving closer

Good people not getting older

Feel like you blink and it's over

Man down

Tell all your people to stand down

Picked the guns up put the hands down

I guess that's what make you a man now

No

Ain't gotta think like a soldier

I can feel death getting closer

Good people not getting older

Feel like you blink and it's over

Sick and tired of the violence

Way too complacent in silence

Got respect for people who trying

Wish we had a little more guidance

Whole culture in a crisis

We Not treating life like it's priceless

I can hear my city crying

Why my people keep on dying

Cops can kill us with impunity

All we got is our community

Used to be able to settle things

Not have to worry bout what you would do to me

Honestly I been confused

How can we win if we lose

Feel like I'm beaten and bruised

I'm doing all I can do

But can't even turn on the news

Man down

Tell all your people to stand down

Picked the guns up put the hands down

I guess that's what make you a man now

No

Ain't gotta think like a soldier

I can feel death getting closer

Good people not getting older

Feel like you blink and it's over

Man down

Tell all your people to stand down

Picked the guns up put the hands down

I guess that's what make you a man now

No

Ain't gotta think like a soldier

I can feel death moving closer

Good people not getting older

Feel like you blink and it's over

Man down

Tell all your people to stand down

Picked the guns up put the hands down

I guess that's what make you a man now

No

Ain't gotta think like a soldier

I can feel death getting closer

Good people not getting older

Feel like you blink and it's over
