Lyrics
Down on the corner around the way
Refers to a location in a neighborhood.
Kids get murdered everyday - everyday
Highlighting the harsh reality of violence among youth.
And up on the hill where rich folks live
Describes an affluent area where people are indifferent.
Ain't too many people with fucks to give - no fucks to give
Emphasizes the lack of care or concern in that community.
Police shoot a young man down in his prime
Details a tragic incident of police shooting.
*It's nothing man it happens here all the time - all the time
Downplays the significance, suggesting it's a common occurrence.
Shorty goes to school with his daddy's gun
Narrates a scenario of a child bringing a gun to school.
Walks into class shoots everyone - everyone
Describes a school shooting incident.
Uhuuoooh uh Oooooh uh Oooooh
Repetition of the idea that the world is searching for compassion.
Worlds just a heart beat looking for a heart
-Uhuuoooh uh Oooooh uh Oooooh
-Worlds just a heart beat looking for a heart
-Uhuuoooh uh Oooooh uh Oooooh
-Worlds just a heart beat looking for a heart
-Uhuuoooh uh Oooooh uh Oooooh
-Worlds just a heart beat - heart beat - heart beat
-Tension so thick you could cut the air
Describes a tense atmosphere where action seems impossible.
And all we could do is just sit and stare - sit and stare
Expresses a feeling of helplessness in the face of adversity.
In a room full of people & I'm all alone
Conveys isolation in a crowded space.
Counting all the days till I get home - till I get home
Anticipating the days until escaping the current situation.
I stay a lil high to numb the pain
Using substances to cope with emotional pain.
Just like my pops will I break the chain - break the chain
Contemplating whether the cycle of hardship will continue.
Liquor on my breath blood shot eyes
Physical signs of a troubled lifestyle.
Tryna cheat death see a new sun rise - new sun rise
Desiring to survive despite the challenges.
Uhuuoooh uh Oooooh uh Oooooh
Reiteration of the theme that the world seeks empathy.
Worlds just a heart beat looking for a heart
-Uhuuoooh uh Oooooh uh Oooooh
-Worlds just a heart beat looking for a heart
-Uhuuoooh uh Oooooh uh Oooooh
-Worlds just a heart beat looking for a heart
-Uhuuoooh uh Oooooh uh Oooooh
-Worlds just a heart beat - heart beat - heart bea
-Down on the corner around the way
Repetition of the grim reality of youth violence.
Kids get murdered everyday - everyday
