"Too Many" by Siaria Shawn
(Lyrics only)
Too many of us,
Struck, down, in cold blood,
What did we do?
You don’t see in me, what you need to
Hook-
So where do I put my rage,
I wanna act out, give me a stage,
So I can use my voice, to voice the pain
One too many bullets, have left,
One too many guns,
And I can’t stomach another daughter or son,
On the ground
Hook-
So where do I put my rage,
I wanna act out, give me a stage,
So I can use my voice, to voice the pain
End-
And you should be ashamed(repeat)
