Dami.B. - Take a Round Lyrics

You was layin on the ground when they found you so lifeless
Please make a sound, gotta find a way to fight this
If I could take your place, I would be the one that's down, yeah
If I could take a round, I would take it right now, yeah

I wish I could rewind time and take a round for people we lost
Flip a dime in the wishin well for people we thought
Would be around to wish us well
With stories to tell
Of Heaven and Hell
Taken by a hammer and some hot shells
Barrels starin at your soul like they judgin'
Straight locked and loaded, gotta sight picture muggin
It's like they made a game for their sin
Just a body count with no award for the win
People playin God, takin lives, what audacity
Bullets pushed down to a magazine's capacity
Strays rippin flesh, never stoppin to discriminate
Even hit a daughter at the stand sellin lemonade
I pray He sends an angel just to stop that bullet
Hug the triggerman and change his mind before he pulls it, man
Some wanna watch the world burn
But we gotta spread love, it makes the world turn, yeah

I ain't tryna think, I don't wanna go back there
Tell me time heals, well it needs to move faster
You were so innocent, pulled the trigger for the thrill, yeah
Ima be ok 'cause I know this ain't real, yeah
You was layin on the ground when they found you so lifeless
Please make a sound, gotta find a way to fight this
If I could take your place, I would be the one that's down, yeah
If I could take a round, I would take it right now, yeah

And if I could bring y'all back, I'd make that wish
Prevent the Rest In Peace tats, no shirts with the pics
No loved ones taken away from us just 'cause somebody's pissed
No daughter givin mommy or daddy a casket kiss
Candles up for the lost ones
Drip the wax, drop the tears on the coffin
All black funerals
Lives ain't renewable
Tally up the death rate with roman numerals
Think before you shoot, I swear it's doable
All that he said, she said don't ever make it suitable
Live in peace, man it's beautiful
Love is always the way, it's indisputable
Send an angel down to stop that plan
Hug the victim, hug the witness, hug the triggerman
We can't sit back and watch the world burn
Let's take it back and spread the love and make it turn
Make it turn

I ain't tryna think, I don't wanna go back there
Tell me time heals, well it needs to move faster
You were so innocent, pulled the trigger for the thrill, yeah
Ima be ok 'cause I know this ain't real, yeah
You was layin on the ground when they found you so lifeless
Please make a sound, gotta find a way to fight this
If I could take your place, I would be the one that's down, yeah
If I could take a round, I would take it right now, yeah

I ain't tryna think, I don't wanna go back there
Tell me time heals, well it needs to move faster
You were so innocent, pulled the trigger for the thrill, yeah
Ima be ok 'cause I know this ain't real, yeah
You was layin on the ground when they found you so lifeless
Please make a sound, gotta find a way to fight this
If I could take your place, I would be the one that's down, yeah
If I could take a round, I would take it right now, yeah
