Left the city, my mama, she said don't come back home
These kids 'round killin each other, they lost they minds, they gone
They quittin' school, making babies and can barely read
Some gone off to their fall
Lord, have mercy on 'em
One, two, three, four, your cousins is round' here sellin' dope
While their daddies, your uncle is walking 'round strung out
Babies with babies and their tears keep burning
While their dreams go down the drain now
(While their dreams go down the drain now)
Are we really living or just walking dead now?
(Are we walking dead now?)
Or dreaming of a hope, riding the wings of angels
The way we live
The way we die
What a tragedy, I'm so terrified
Day dreamers, please wake up
We can't sleep no more
Love don't make no sense, ask your neighbor
The winds have changed, it seems that they've abandoned us
The truth hurts and so does yesterday
What good is love if it burns bright and explodes in flames?
I thought every living thing had love but, uh
Are we really living or just walking dead now?
(Are we walking dead now?)
Or dreaming of a hope, riding the wings of angels
The way we live
The way we die
What a tragedy, I'm so terrified
Day dreamers please wake up
We can't sleep no more
I've seen them shootin' up funerals in they Sunday clothes
And spending money on spinners but won't pay college loans
And all you gangers and bangers rollin' dice and taking lives in the smokey dark
Lord, have mercy on you
Teacher, teacher, please reach those girls in them videos (live your life)
The little girls just broken queens, confusing bling for soul
Danger, there's danger when you take off your clothes
All your dreams go down the drain girl
Are we really living or just walking dead now?
Or dreaming of a hope, riding the wings of angels
The way we live
The way we die
What a tragedy, I'm so terrified
Day dreamers please wake up
We can't sleep no more
(Lord, have mercy on 'em)
(Have mercy on 'em)
(Have mercy on 'em)
(Lord, have mercy on 'em)
(Are we really living or just walking dead now?)
(Have mercy on 'em)
(Have mercy on 'em)
(Have mercy on 'em)
We live, then we die
And we never know, that's why
So now, now we're gone down
On your mark
We live and then we die
But we never touch the sky
So now, now we're gone down
On your mark

It is now time
For you to come home, my dear

You've been gone long enough

Thank you
You must come, you must go
