[Intro: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.]
Then the Greek language has another word called agope
Agope is more than romantic love
Agope is more than friendship
Agope is not something affectionate
Agope is understanding created
Redemptive goodwill for all men
It is an overflowing love which seeks nothing in return
Theologians would say that is the love of God operating in the human heart
When one rises to love on this level
He loves men not because he likes him
But he loves every man because God loves him
He goes on with that
[Verse 1: Johnny IV]
Another fallen soldier
Another son deceased
Another daughter murdered
What happened to peace?
Police tokin' the piece
Leave 'em dead in the streets
Then claimin' self-defense
O' the land of the free
And now we all numb to it
See it every day
Another school shootin'
Can we put the guns away?
How much proof do you need
To be convinced
That the people pullin' the triggers
Ain't got no common sense?
Now they sayin' the guns don't kill people
The people they kill each other
It's one after another
Don't come home to see their mothers
Siblings they gotta suffer
And the killer gets away
Close the case
With a smile on his face
Now tell me what the fuck I'm supposed to do
When I'm ridin' in the whip
And I see the red and blues
And my heart starts to race
Fear develops within
Will this be my last day cuz of the color of my skin?
[Chorus: Johnny IV & Jordyne]
I wish I was bulletproof
Cuz nowadays they just point and shoot
Then they put it all on the news
I wish I was bulletproof
Lord tell me what am I to do?
I wanna win
But I'm bound to lose
Can't even go outside
I don't feel safe
Will this be the last time I see your face?
I wish I was bulletproof
I wish I was bulletproof (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Bridge: Sage of Six]
We wouldn't need guns if we had love
Wouldn't need guns if we had love
Wouldn't need guns if we had love
We wouldn't need guns if we had love
[Verse 2: Johnny IV]
Moment of silence for all the violence, I keep
Hearin' the sirens
The lights so blindin', I just
Wanna survive
Try to chase my dreams, I'm just
Learnin' to fly
But they clip my wings
Too many kids are losin' their lives
Before they get to grow, that's why
I decided to make The Story Never Told
They can't
Close my mouth
They can't
Blind my vision
They can't
Cloud my thoughts
And can't prevent me to listen
We're livin' in a day and age where everyone's afraid
Acceptin' of the world
Because it's difficult to change
The way we livin'
I refuse to follow tradition
Cuz the world we live in
Only glorifies division
Love thy opposition
We all entitled to opinions
But you gotta listen
Conversation's our ammunition
We can't only unite
When the tragedy strikes
Just gotta stand up for what's right
Then we all take flight
[Chorus: Johnny IV & Jordyne]
I wish I was bulletproof
Cuz nowadays they just point and shoot
Then they put it all on the news
I wish I was bulletproof
Lord tell me what am I to do?
I wanna win
But I'm bound to lose
Can't even go outside
I don't feel safe
Will this be the last time I see your face?
I wish I was bulletproof
I wish I was bulletproof (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Bridge: Sage of Six]
We wouldn't need guns if we had love
Wouldn't need guns if we had love
Wouldn't need guns if we had love
We wouldn't need guns if we had love
[Outro: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.]
I believe that with this method and this approach
We will be able to win
Finally
As we struggle, we do not struggle alone
It's dark sometimes
It's difficult
We through our struggles
Through our suffering
Through our sacrifice
Will be able to achieve the American dream
This will be the day when all of God's children
Black men and white men
Jews and gentiles
Protestants and Catholics
Will be able to join hands
And sing in the words of the 'ol negro spiritual
Free at last
Free at last
Thank God Almighty
We are free at last
