Stop the Violence - Genocide, Tyna, Dj Cxl

Tynes, Tynes

Real talk, New Zealand wassup?

Stop the violence (yeah)

I see a lot of pain going on around the country

We got too many people with no money living roughly

Our kids are goin' hungry and go to school starvin'

Some are being killed with a rate so alarmin'

What makes a man wanna kill his own infant?

And after he’s done it he doesn’t feel any different

His fam don’t speak about abuse that they witness

Choosing to keep and be ashamed that they live with

Look, we got a sickness, outta control and widespread

How many more innocent kids we gonna find dead?

How many more will get attacked and violated?

And before they grow up they already react with hatred

We need to change and face off our demons

Eliminate the genocide that we are breathin'

We got too many fiendin' drugs, liquor and gamblin'

I’m not here to judge, I feel what you are battlin' (yeah)

But on the real, envision when you are older

Where you wanna be, free or in a cell, hold up?

(ayo)

Get a hold of yourself and choose a better route

Never be the name on the news that I read about

No doubt, our cities are more violent

From all the way down south to the North Island

People are bein' killed over t-shirt colours

While others are runnin' drugs and givin' P to the youngsters

Say no son, your life’s only begun

You can pick wrong or right and the man that you become

And you won’t find peace in a pipe and no bottle

So lead by example and be a role model

Put our heads together and stop the violence

Put our heads together and stop the violence

Put our heads together and stop the violence

Put our heads together and stop the violence

Dedicated to beautiful Mia

I had a vision of a beautiful girl

Maybe twelve years old and brand new to the world

She’s gonna be anything that she choose in this world

Lives life like she got something to prove to this world

And I hope she gets all the things she dreams of

But things aren’t always what they seem 'cause

Mia’s had a hard life, it’s plain to me

But most people can’t see 'cause the pain’s too deep

How she tries to achieve, despite her past

I hear the joy that she brings everytime she laughs

From a distance she’s just a normal kid in her class

But up-close, you see that she bears the scars

Of a hard life, lived in a home without a heart

And a home without a heart can take your life before it starts

And the truth is, Mia never made it that far

And this is all a dream that I caught in the stars

'Cause in reality she’s drawn in this world that’s cold

When they killed baby Mia she was three years old

Yeah they tortured, they beat her with no remorse

How I wish I coulda held her and taken the force

Of the blows that were inflicted on an innocent victim

So young she couldn’t even understand the pain

For everytime she cried out and nobody came

I feel ashamed of my people, though we’re not the same

And what the fuck is wrong with you?

Abused her and left her

You were the ones who were supposed to protect her

Betrayed our people and all that we are

And this song’s for Mia and may she live in our hearts

Forever, lest we forget who we are in the end

But for all of our sake it never happens again

Forever, and ever I’m in

She lives forever, forever I’m in

Put our heads together and stop the violence

Put our heads together and stop the violence

Put our heads together and stop the violence

Put our heads together and stop the violence
