[10/1000] MORDECAI DEX - Lay Down Your Weapon (Acoustic) [SMS “SKIZA 6987820” TO 811]

MORDECAI DEX wrote this song 6years ago back in 2018 and these lyrics still ring true even today especially with everything going on in the world and even in our nation right now. Irrespective of your political bias or affiliation or who you support, the truth is we can’t hold anything of substance (even a conversation) if our hands are busy clenching weapons. And I mean weapons of any kind.... Hatred, fear, malice, anger, ignorance, confusion and so on. Not just the physical weapons. So today, breath a little, drink some water and lay down your weapon. Whatever it is

LAY DOWN YOUR WEAPON (LYRICS)
Lay Down Your Weapon
Mama fighting
To keep pot boiling
Papa struggle to keep
The food on the table
Brother can't find no job
And the streets are getting colder
Every other day another murder
When I look back into yesterday
I see reflections
Of a new face
Ready for tomorrow
Got to keep it together
Though these days
Seem to never
Let us have
Our little piece of paradise so
You keep on buying
All the lies
That they sell to you
Turning a blind eye
To the ones that are
True to you
You form alliance
With the ones
That keep deceiving you
Forgetting that tomorrow
They might leave you
We get in debt
Just to get
With the programme
Changing the song
But never changing
The chorus
Rejecting all ideas
Meant to restore us
Fighting battles not meant for us
You better Lay down your weapon
Lay down your weapon
There's peace beneath the pieces
If you lay it down
You better Lay it down
Lay down your weapon
Lay it down
Lay down your weapon
You better Lay it down
Lay down your weapon
Lay it down
Lay down your weapon
Lay it down
Lay it down
Lay it down
Lay it down
Lay down your weapon
Lay down your pain
Lay down your anger
And lean on me
Lay down your guns
Walk in victory
Time for us
To tell a different story
Lay down jealous
Lay down malice
Lay down anger
That burns like a chalice
Lay Down Depression
Lay Down Your Weapon
You better Lay it down
Lay down your weapon
You better Lay it down
Lay down your weapon
You better Lay it down
Lay down your weapon
You better Lay it down
Lay down your weapon
