Lyrics

(Intro: Bullet & Mo) A cry for my buddy gone If all your family gone (gone) If their family gone Lets go [Verse 1: Bullet) I was told, you never get to know whatchu got until it’s gone Since I was a small, I didn’t know I had a cigarette on my nose Time is of the essence of these days it was foretold Now am old, is the end of days the cause? Sittin’ on the veranda with the boys listenin’ to the news Followin’ up on the statistics, got me closely in tune There’s a killer in town “n” am scared of my bro now, how do I get around They said I should be homebound But seems like there’s no place left to hide The church is dyin’ too, then who’s supposed to lead the blind? Governments are stressed if it’s game of chess then its checkmate Been workin’ from home coz was being protected from my workmate The only person I used to call on, shoulder to lean on, now he falls No one to mourn with, coz all the homes have funerals My head down, my hands on my toes, a cry for all the innocent souls [Chorus: Mo] Ooh oooh It’s a cry for the departed, till we meet again Till we meet again Yeah yeah hey [Verse 2: Bullet] I’m losin’ my breath, feelin’ these chest pains Wanna leave for the hospital, my son in case I don’t return Be careful of what you touch, take care of your mother I am in a rush, got no time, where my mask at? Police may beat me up Along the way so as I drive, I make sure my windows I roll up Even if I return, I hear there is discrimination Is my time done? Just elimination of my generation? As soon as I reach the tent, caskets come in tens, and am in tense Misappropriator of our taxes, again abused the funds, stop!! How do I believe when the minister says I will make it out? Just doing his job So I lose my hope again for tomorrow Come see my face one last time by the window, on a machine The first time my every breath got measured God give me lots in case I miss this vaccine [Chorus: Mo] Ooh oooh It’s a cry for the departed, till we meet again Till we meet again Yeah yeah hey [Verse 3: Bullet] Sounds like I can try to hide when it’s at night But seems like my face can still be seen under starlight Is it like this killer got a satellite? Coz am like, you hate to see me alive or just a strong appetite? Where tha, musicians at, where the actors at? Where tha, politicians at, where the pastors at? Where’s the tradition in which we shook hands? Our stadium, an injunction only so we can dance? So teach me new ways on how to express my love now Can’t see friends, visit the sick in a lockdown Both parents on oxygen then the father dies Mother mournin’ on social media coz she’s on quarantine It was her hope, one day they’d meet again But it’s a blow in her home Front-liners fightin’ daily non-stop it’s a war Redefines their passion and what they stand for, And that they really heard the call [Chorus: Bullet & Mo] Laying wreaths, laying wreaths Laying wreaths for the departed, (till we) Till we meet again Laying wreaths Laying wreaths for the departed, (till we) Till we meet again Ooh oooh All my brothers gone, All my fathers gone All my sisters gone, All mothers gone Just gone like that, Gone down like that Way down like Laying wreaths All my brothers gone (gone) All my fathers gone All my sisters gone (gone) All mothers gone Just gone like that Gone down like that Way down like, uh Laying wreaths
