Tynes, Tynes [?]
Real talk, New Zealand wassup?
Stop the violence (yeah)

[Verse 1: Genocide]
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 [aside?] 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
[Hook: KRS-One]
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

[Verse 2: Tyna]
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 [in?] ever I'm in
She lives forever, forever I'm in
[Hook: KRS-One]
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
