A young man unaware of the scope
Blind to the sorrow and the pain
Put an end to a life full of hope
In an act so futile it's truly insane

His walls are those that surround him
Intellect diminished
As lights that grow dim
What he thought at the time as his gains
Will end up without doubt as being his chains

Another mother weeps
But it's too late
He got caught up in this figure of hate
Everybody knows
But you, where you go from here

How do you stop the world from falling down?
When love and pride is never common ground

Dignity was never his destiny
He's lived his life in the absence of love
Watching his peers strut their vanity
Egos swollen like OJ's hands inside a glove

A life of crime, a game of fame
Without remorse and without shame
A consequence of jealousy blood fell
Led him to the wilderness of a prison cell

Another mother weeps
But it's too late
The news at ten knife crime debate
Everybody knows
But you, where you go from here

How do you stop the world from falling down?
When love and pride is never common ground
How do you stop the world from falling down?
When love and pride is never common ground

So you're famous now
What price fame?
