One Man Down Lyrics by Micah Dennis

Sixteen Years Later

2018

(Intro)
This world's a prison where we're all locked up
And will gun one man down
Verse 1:
You know, we live in a country that’s unsafe
I’m 16 yrs old and I dont want to take, a risk
That could end my whole life
With these whacky boys 'n girls
I dont even know what's right
Lets talk violence from these outer states
You know America can't contain the shooters that are going insane
Wake up every morning can't even think straight
Thinking someones gonna shoot me down
And I can't escape
Now i board my walls, now i sit there
All this funky music gives me a blind stare
I go to school, and I get good grades
How long before they send me on, uh downstairs?
To my grave, yeah right next to you
Did you really end up dying for this country too?
This is my house, and I believe
If they gun me down, you'll be there for me
(Chorus)
People out here dying, people out here crying
Think about the world we live in
On you knees beggin pretty please, don't shoot me
You flee before us you run along
To a country that will keep you strong
This world’s a prison where we’re all locked up
And will gun one man down
We run away from our mistakes
We act like we dont care
Murdering innocent kids that didn't do a thing
You flee before us you run along
To a country that will keep you strong
This world's a prison where we're all locked up
And will gun one man down
(Verse 2)
I believe in peace, you believe in war
How do I go about this all on my own?
I’ll handle it, no you can take it
Sick of ppl putting me down and I’m drowning
They walk through that door, hands on my head
With a policeman ready to arrest my ass
I told him i didn't do it, tryna get to the room
I heard sirens and the PA over the school
It doesn't matter now, I somehow refused
Pinned to the ground, choked, I guess I loose
Nobody yelling, or backing me up
Just blank faces like it was all my fault
(Chorus)
People out here dying, people out here crying
Think about the world we live in
On you knees beggin pretty please, don't shoot me
You flee before us you run along
To a country that will keep you strong
This world’s a prison where we’re all locked up
And will gun one man down
We run away from our mistakes
We act like we dont care
Murdering innocent kids that didn't do a thing
You flee before us you run along
To a country that will keep you strong
This world's a prison where we're all locked up
And will gun one man down
(Bridge)
Will gun one man down, oh
You flee before us you run along
To a country that will keep you strong
This world's a prison where we're all locked up
And will gun one man down
(Outro)
If this was how I lived, if this was what I did
I would hate myself, I wouldn’t sleep
How can u walking into a school
Shoot up 100 plus kids, without feeling guilt?
Maybe it's a mental illness, maybe it's just revenge
But do they all deserve to die in your convienence?
You can sit in jail, think about who you are
We march for our lives
And the ones who have fallen to your gun
