Enemies Footstools

Guns don't kill people, people kill people
Guns don't fill their clips, people do that shit
The hammer doesn't cock and drop on it's own
Man pulls the trigger while it's aimed at your dome
All over the world there is a constant state of war
Nobody truly wins so what is all the fighting for
It's unfortunately never going to ever stop
Nowadays I even have to worry about cops
So many people's hearts are filled up with greed
That is a major culprit of why they'll be no peace
Manipulation and exploitation all across the nation
If this was a movie, I would just change the station
Everywhere you look there's blood on the leaves
Most folks just encourage you to get on your knees
Praying to the lord for all the answers that you need
Telling you to turn the other cheek for your enemies
I just don't believe that's what GOD wants us to do
The creator doesn't want us to be their footstools
