The Killer’s Baby

My father was killed when I was just 4 years old
My mother saved my life, but she couldn’t save my soul

And everyone feels my pain and the bitter cold
Still her voice in the form of rain will never leave me alone

Baby, don’t you make yourself crazy
Don’t you take it out on the killer’s baby

Your mind’s awake
Your body shakes
You can’t escape
Vengeance, justice, understanding

I got a gun to his head
I just want to see him dead
I waited a lifetime for this moment
I gave him a lifeline for a moment

He said

Listen to your mother
If you pull the trigger
It will make no difference
And you will be no different

Get inside the mind of a killer's baby
Ask him what it feels like to be that baby?
Ask him what he feels when he sees my people
Look him in the eye and to feel the evil?

Do you believe him? Is he a victim of shame?
Who do you blame for the blood and the pain?
I will ask him again for the [bad word] 
So, are you the same [bad word] in youth?

Tell me the history, tell me you care
Tell me you see all the fists in the air
Tell me you're different, you want to make change
Before I decide if I want to act strange

So the question remains
Just waiting for answers
Tell me, what is your name?
And who are your fathers?

Your mind’s awake
Your body shakes
You can’t escape
Vengeance, justice, understanding

Baby, don’t you make yourself crazy
Don’t you take it out on the killer’s baby
