Lyrics
I see it every day
I witness this every day.
Everywhere I look they say
Everywhere I look, people mention.
Another life has been taken away
Another life has been lost.
It makes my stomach turn
This situation disgusts me.
But livin' here you gotta learn
However, in this environment, you must adapt and accept it.
Get used to it, it's reality
Getting accustomed to it, as it's the harsh reality.
Say your prayers
Advise to pray.
Hope it won't happen to you
Wishing it won't happen to you.
Mind your business
Focus on your affairs.
Do what you gotta do
Do what is necessary for survival.
Don't look for trouble
Don't actively seek problems.
Sometimes trouble finds you
Sometimes, problems find you.
And what can you do
And in such situations, what options do you have?
What can I do?
Expressing a sense of helplessness.
One on one fights don't exist
Individual confrontations no longer occur.
Fist fights are extinct
Fist fights have vanished.
Nowadays people don't seem to think
Contemporary people seem thoughtless.
They can't see
They are oblivious to...
How easy it is to set a soul free
...how easy it is to end a life.
That decision is not theirs to make
Emphasizing that the decision to end a life is not theirs to make.
Say your prayers
Reiteration of the advice to pray.
Hope it won't happen to you
Hoping that the unfortunate won't happen to the listener.
Mind your business
Continue focusing on your own matters.
Do what you gotta do
Survive by doing what is necessary.
Don't look for trouble
Repeating the advice not to seek trouble.
Sometimes trouble finds you
Acknowledging that trouble may find you regardless.
And what can you do
Reflecting on the limited options in such situations.
What can I do?
Reiterating a sense of helplessness.
Now you see what I mean
Summing up the earlier points.
Protecting my family and me
Emphasizing the need to protect one's family and oneself.
What can I do?
Reiterating the sense of helplessness.
It makes my stomach turn
Reiteration of the disgust towards the situation.
Livin' here you gotta learn
Advising to adapt to the environment.
You gotta fight back
Encouragement to fight back when one's life is threatened.
When someone tries to take your life from you
Empowering the listener in a life-threatening situation.
