Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] He learned how to shoot Before he learned how to fight Learned how to move off emotion Before learning wrong from right Learned how to survive In a world that don’t teach How to control what you feeling When your back in the streets He learned how to aim Never learned how to pause Never learned how to walk away When pride get involved Everybody told him “be a man” Never told him how Till the moment came too fast And it’s quiet now ⸻ [Core Lines] He learned how to shoot Before he learned how to fight Now he headed up state Facing life He should’ve learned how to fight ⸻ [Hook] Some lessons cost freedom Some choices cost years Some moments last seconds But echo through tears If he could rewind time He’d choose different nights Some fights ain’t with hands Some wars are inside ⸻ [Verse 2] He wasn’t born heartless He adapted to pain In a place where respect Get confused with your name Nobody taught him restraint They just taught him to react By the time he realized There ain’t no taking it back praying every night Asking God “why me?” Judge reading out numbers Like time free He ain’t evil, he human But the system don’t care It don’t ask where you come from Just how you got there ⸻ [Bridge] If someone would’ve showed him How to breathe through the rage How to put the pride down And just walk away Maybe freedom still his Maybe life feel right He learned how to shoot… Just not how to fight ⸻ [Final Hook / Outro] Some lessons cost freedom Some choices cost years I write this for the ones Who ain’t make it out here If you hearing this now And you still got time Learn how to fight the demons Before you cross that line
