I live up the road from a funeral home ever day I see a procession passing by ever day someone passes ever day someone died ever day someone is put in the ground ever day someone is gunned down ever day I see cavalcades I see mourners ever day a soul is put to rest it's a sad ceremony ever day is a sad song to sing ever day is a sermon to preach ever day a phone rings ever day a florist is paid ever day someone's called home ever day a hole is dug ever day is a eulogy ever day a body burns ever day ashes get put in a urn ever day someone gets put on a t-shirt ever day the decease is honored or disrespected by their oppositions ever day I don't see people loving each other ever day I don't hear nor do I see black on black harmony ever day I don't hear children's laughter kids don't go outside to play ever day it's like a snow day ever day as if it rains every day like sun don't some time ever day someone get shot ever day someone get killed ever day it's black on black crime ever day it's white on black crime ever day it's white on white crime ever day someone get murdered ever day innocent men get locked up ever day some men get away with murder ever day sirens soundoff ever day it's violence ever day it's a loss of life ever day someone gets silenced ever day there will be gnashing of teeth ever day there will be blood in the street ever day it's gone be some weeping ever day it's gone be bloodshed ever day a life is took ever day life is shook ever day life is written in a book ever day someone go to sleep and never wake with ever breath we take life's taken away ever day
