Gun Violence Rap
Intro
Yo, listen up
All the Gun Violence out there
All these Guns and Police
Dangerous place out there
Seeing those guns bustin’ these streets
Let me tell you all about
GUN VIOLENCE
Verse 1
Back in the 60s crime rates were low
1970s people don’t follow
saw crime rates increase by 100 percent
gun sales boomin’ wherever you went
Currently we see about 4 out of ten
Americans owning firearms that frightens
90 million Americans with firearms
Man that really alarms
Gun Control Act Passed in nineteen sixty-eight
Unfortunately the act didn’t do great
Every year about 14k are murdered
The cries of help only murmured
Every year about 8 thousand teens are shot
And the majority are forgot
Every day 90 are shot unintentionally
And we can only hope that it improves eventually
Chorus
Gun violence
Always an issue
Gun violence
Nobody wished to
Gun violence
In every corner
Gun violence
Always a horror
Verse 2
Now let's talk about gun violence deaths
Every day 106 take their last breaths
Out of those 39 are murdered daily
64 kill themselves, that's just crazy
Every year about 40k die
I wonder why the rates are so high
It's just like guns have an unlimited supply
Every year 23k say goodbye (suicide)
Chorus
Gun violence
Always an issue
Gun violence
Nobody wished to
Gun violence
In every corner
Gun violence
Always a horror
Verse 3
Hey man, don’t do the gun violence
Say man, don't you want silence
Tell me do you wanna end up
On the ground dead and struck
And then police pick up your body
In the ground you get buried
No medals or recognition
Go burn in hell for your position
Dead and forgotten
In a couple of years you will be rotten
Labeled as a convict
All you are is conflict
Chorus
Gun violence
Always an issue
Gun violence
Nobody wished to
Gun violence
In every corner
Gun violence
Always a horror
Verse 4
Now let's take a look at gun violence causes
It’s common in people who can’t afford lodges
Or it could be caused by inequality
The way of life, the quality
Underperforming schools are also linked
One shot later and you’re extinct
It's the leading cause of blacks for death
Drugs too, opium and meth
Wealth is also key (gun violence causes)
People don't do things for free
Living in underfunded public housing
The kind of people that can’t afford browsing
Chorus
Gun violence
Always an issue
Gun violence
Nobody wished to
Gun violence
In every corner
Gun violence
Always a horror
Verse 4
Now take a look at Gun Violence injuries
Most are caused by bad activities
Every day 210 are shot and survive
Luckily they get revived
95 are injured in an attack (daily)
But they always come back
10 survive a suicide attempt
Then they get labeled as contempt
Every year 77k survive gun injuries
33k gun injuries are mysteries
About 1k are shot by legal intervention
But they also get medical attention
Outro
Yeah man, heard enough?
People out there are tough
So take all your stuff
And don't be rough
