A young man unaware of the scope Blind to the sorrow and the pain Put an end to a life full of hope In an act so futile it's truly insane His walls are those that surround him Intellect diminished As lights that grow dim What he thought at the time as his gains Will end up without doubt as being his chains Another mother weeps But it's too late He got caught up in this figure of hate Everybody knows But you, where you go from here How do you stop the world from falling down? When love and pride is never common ground Dignity was never his destiny He's lived his life in the absence of love Watching his peers strut their vanity Egos swollen like OJ's hands inside a glove A life of crime, a game of fame Without remorse and without shame A consequence of jealousy blood fell Led him to the wilderness of a prison cell Another mother weeps But it's too late The news at ten knife crime debate Everybody knows But you, where you go from here How do you stop the world from falling down? When love and pride is never common ground How do you stop the world from falling down? When love and pride is never common ground So you're famous now What price fame?
