Lord, we thank you, praise, honor, and adore you.
You've granted us the opportunity to come boldly to your throne of grace and truth.
I only have one petition today.
No, no more blood, no more blood, bloodshed, please.
No, no more blood, no more blood, bloodshed, please.
I've seen much blood spilled, I'm so uneased.
Living with precariousness, no guarantees.
We've all lost our ways in the darkness of the dark.
Blinded by xenophobia, hatred in our heart.
While maintaining a smiling face, daily worries return me to pray.
Black men, you're the prey, my tears help me to convey.
No, no more blood, no more blood, bloodshed, please.
No, no more blood, no more blood, bloodshed, please.
Alarming as things may sound, we're aware that it's due to your bloodshed that fell to the ground.
It's the ultimate difference in how we live today.
This is why men should always watch and pray.
Again I say, Capitol Hill, Anthony McClain, Dante Wright, and Botham Jean.
Current events not considering back in the day, Leroy Barnes, Stephen Bullock, and B.A.
Pain is less committed, but cease at the hands of law enforcement.
Jesus, please.
No, no more blood, no more blood, bloodshed, please.
No more 9-11, no more degrading young women on social media.
No more expedient decisions, no more career wars, no more Holocaust heroes.
No more Columbine bloodshed, please.
Hurricane Katrina, no more police brutality, bloodshed, please.
George Floyd, I can't breathe, no more, no more Sandy Hooks Elementary School shootings.
No more Halloween massacre, no more Reginald Denny, no more Uncle Vinny's movies.
Desensitize, new normal lives, see through the father's eyes.
Don't see these men as trees, don't chop them down, watch them hit the ground.
You made their mothers proud, these babies suffered.
No, no more blood, no more blood, bloodshed, please.
No more blood, no more bloodshed, please.
Change the stories on the news.
I'm tired of crying, singing the blues.
No more bloodshed, please.
I'm on my knees.
Dear Heavenly Father God, please allow the world to see us as human beings and not as wild beasts.
Let them see the value in our lives and our contribution to this great country.
Inventing the streetlights, creating peanut butter,
forming the first group of men going around dissolving flames in our neighborhoods and communities.
Things that have yet to be revealed to the world.
And most of all, as the children of the Most High God in Jesus.
Bloodshed, please.
Bloodshed, please.
Bloodshed, please.
