STOP
STOP
Stop before you pull that trigger an take a life,
Stop police officer and say STOP,HALT,FREEZE before you pull that trigger or use that choke hold.
STOP before you hurt that child,
STOP before you make someone a victim.
STOP before you take something that's not yours,
STOP before you take the law into your own hands.
STOP before we have no future.
WE MUST STOP ,WE MUST STOP.
