Gun smoke everywhere I turn is just gun smoke mother and child around gun smoke can't find any love is just gun smoke
It's like they don't know what about the loving that they don't show if you don't water the plant then it won't grow it's more love you should show
So tell me why you want to silent I and I because I tell you to give the youth a try
Somebody tell me why and this is what I would like to know what if all the world a ghetto would you still not want to see the seed grow it's more love we should show
Gun smoke everywhere I turn is just gun smoke mother and child around gun smoke can't find any love is just gun smoke
It's like they don't know what about the loving that they don't show if you don't water the plant then it won't grow it's more love you should show
The state and the condition of the youth on the street is wicked on the road even the blind man can see it. It's obvious we are independent but none of us is free it's like blood in their veins but none in yours
So can someone please tell me why some mothers in their beds and have to cry while politician tell only lies while my brothers dying on the road from gun smoke .
Gun smoke everywhere I turn is just gun smoke mother and child around gun smoke can't find any love is just gun smoke
It's like they don't know what about the loving that they don't show if you don't water the plant then it won't grow it's more love you should show
