Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am][D]
[Am]Put [D]the guns down,[Am]
it's never [D]too late for peace
When [Em]you're [Am]stressed out,
take time [D]to work through the doubt[Em]s
Dark [Am]clouds pouring out
love [D]in the streets
Pressure makes diamonds if [Am]you dream
But if you shoot, it's [D]over
Now, can we [G]please get
[Am]a moment of silence for the
Dilley
De[D]parted?
Rest in peace,
Eric
[Am]Garner
Sean
[F]Bell,
[Am]Alton
Sterling,
Trayvon
[Em]Martin
Saun[D]dra
Bland,
Mike
Brown, rest the families of [Em]all them
[Am]Why all my people get shot
dead in the streets?
Why
Dilley [D]rude?
Chains, hoes, and
Nick
Cruz takin' it big
We gettin' [Am]murdered by each other
and [C]murdered by the police
They [D]killin' us and we killin' us,
man, when will it cease?
[Am]guns down
It's never [D]too late for me to run
[Em]You're [Am]stressed out
Take time [D]to work through the [Em]doubts
Dark clouds
[Am]Pouring out blood in the s[D]treets
Pressure makes diamonds if [Am]you dream
But if you shoot [D]it's over
[C]Guns down
[Am]It's hard to put my gun down
[D]Cuz they blind,
gotta watch out when they come around
Hanging [Am]out, I'm traumatized
by all them gun sounds
[D]But I ain't tryna go away,
always swear that ain't nothing to catch [Am]a care
Yeah, you gon' go and [C]shoot him,
it gon' [D]do a lot of time
You may be goin' through it,
but I know it ain't worth [Am]dyin'
Just try to [C]leave it alone, to live to[D]gether,
we could be so strong
Put the guns [Am]down
It's never [D]too late, it's never too late
When you're [Am]stressed and you're stressin',
take time to
Take [D]your time,
take your time [Em]draw a [Am]class
Pourin' out love [D]in the streets
Oppression makes [Em]diamonds,
[Am]de pression makes diamonds
But if you shoot it's [D]over, gun[C]s down
[Am]Put the gun down young and pick a book up
[D]I ain't
Master
P, but I got the [Am]hook up
Caught your buddy banging,
[D]gotta bang with him
Murder on an armed robbery,
that's a [Am]life sentence
Now you in a cell saying
what I [D]should've did
Now your mama and your sister
gotta raise your kids
[Am]And your so -called part
[C]ners ain't teaching you
[D]And they the same ones who
you were thuggin' with
[Am]Ain't no love in the heart of [D]the city
The crime rate boostin',
youngster gotta [Am]get it
They sendin' on [C]the daily, try [D]to win
Gotta keep up with [Em]the
Joan, gotta [Am]trend
Cease [D]gunfire, stop the violence
We leave better jobs for the [Am]projects
You can't put [C]no food on [D]the table
Stick to the base, to the [Am]table
It's never [D]too late for peace
When you're [Am]stressed out
Take time [D]to work through the doubts
[Em]Dark [Am]clouds,
pouring out love [D]in the streets
Pressure makes diamonds if [Am]you dream
But if you shoot, [D]it's over,
gun[Em]s down
[Am]30 -roun[F]d draw,
[Am]make the blue [C]lights come
[D]The wrong word,
get your block knocked [Am]off
No face, no case,
just [D]a body and some fingerprints
Automatic smoke up on [Am]my enemy
The color we be killing by respect
[D]Fuck your laws,
we be killin' by the check
[Am]Tell his momma that her son goin' [C]niggas
[D]To the pen or the grave, y
Put guns [Am]down
One time for the street[D]s
Put your street[Am]s down
That's where my heart at,
so that's where
[D]I'ma be at
You know what sayin'?
Put your [Em]guns [Am]down
But the way y doin' thang these days,
[D]man, you know what I'm sayin'?
Ain't never seen it this bad,
man, you know what mean?
Put your streets
[Am]I grew up in these streets,
man, you know, it used to be a [D]cult
Used to be an animal,
Steve, you know what I'm sayin'?
[Am]Now y 'all doin' shit with the
inno[D]cent people
Innocent kids, [Am]it ain't right, man
[D]I put them straps down,

[Am]Lonely or nothin',
