Lay Down Your Weapons - Rita Ora, K Koke

Lay down your weapons, weapons for me

If that means anything

Listen little man, I done told you f*@# the hype ting

I done told you road life aint what it might seem

Where I’m from we do wrong for the right c.r.e.a.m

But at a price can loose your life for some nice things

No nice dreams, just fiends inside veins

No lie, you don’t wanna hear the 9 scream

Cause cold night got us slippin like an ice rink

My bro light, he got hit up like lightning

My 4 thug killin me, imprisoned with the lifeless

youngen listen, can you vision where my mind is?

this life’s sick the end’s sorta like the wire

Friends turns snitch I know you heard about spider

I recommend you take a telling from me

Cause I’ve been in it from the start dog,

It’s hell in these streets

Once you in it, then you in it, ain’t no settling beef

Lay down your weapons, f*&# reppin', get your money and leave

Lay down your weapons, weapons for me

Lay down your weapons, weapons for me

if that means anything

Can we avoid war, search and destroy war

Learn what to live for, if that means anything

Lay down your weapons, weapons for me

if that means anything

you think this life looks fun, well look a little closer

You just might find this life isn’t what you hoped for

the roadside’s a lie, and the proof’s in the culture

The truth is you die or sit down, no sofa

Prison living is a image you don’t know darg

Picture living in this prison and it’s so dark

And when you listen you hear whispers from the cold draft

Looking in the mirror, at a sinner with a broke heart

I know it’s so hard, I hope it won’t last

I know you’re scarred and you just wanna get your dough fast

But you don’t wanna end up dead or stuck behind bars

Time is of the essence and the present flies past

when the 9 sparks mother’s lose their baby boys

and die hard kids wanna play with toys

Listen to my voice, can you hear my pain

Before there isn’t choice

Lay down your weapons, weapons for me

Lay down your weapons, weapons for me

if that means anything

Can we avoid war, search and destroy war

Learn what to live for, if that means anything

Lay down your weapons, weapons for me

if that means anything
