Bullets

from Missing Anchor by Simeon Peebler

lyrics

Talking to my girl on the phone
Wandering these streets, heading home
Notice him following close behind
Fear in his face, worry in his eyes
Gotta shake this tail, gotta get away
But he follows every move I make

Why is getting home so much harder
When my hood 's pulled over my head
Just wanted to be left alone
Never imagined this is how it would end

Angry words, punch, push and shove
Fighting back ends with his gun
I'm not a perfect man, too young to be a saint
But I did not deserve to die today
And how this will be judged, I don't know
Bullets are no way to protect this world

Why is getting home so much harder
When my hood is pulled over my head
Just wanted to be left alone
Never imagined I'd be shot dead

The shooter patrolling the streets is locked away
Guilty of judging my face
Wanting to be a hero, protecting his kin
Ending up a villain, when we could have been friends

Bullets are no way to protect this world
Bullets are no way to protect this world

Why is getting home so much harder
When my hood is pulled over my head
I just wanted to be left alone
Never imagined this is how it would end
