Blood Is Thicker Than Slugs

From general purpose machine guns

To children's toy guns,

That got a blackman shot

To Kingdom come

Inside a store at the toy section

Where it was placed

On open display.

Cause someone saw

Him and called the cops,

Who called the shots,

Who made him bite the dust,

It's all menace to society

Bringing a lot mo' harm

Than prompting charity.

It's time for gun laws to disarm.

Guns have since changed,

Why make gun laws stay same?

How many folks carrying

Have prevented a mass shooting?

How many more ain't gun-carrying,

Ever initiated a mass shooting?

Duplicated genocide

Is on a steady rise

Cause assault rifles

Are as commonplace as trifles.

“It's not the gun,

It's the mindset of the bum.”

So then defuse the bomb

Restrict the bum

From getting access to guns.

Guns don't shoot themselves

But folks put 'em on shelves

And showcase the shells,

That's how the thing sells.

Senseless laws bring slugs

Slugs spill blood.

And a gun is no

Respecter of persons.

So act like you know

And count your blessings

If you's alive

To witness another sunrise.

Now, move your butt. Arise!

Let's end the violent reprise.
