(Spoken Intro)
History remembers every kingdom... every war... every lie... every life.
So why are we still repeating the same mistakes?
Stop killing the babies.
Stop killing our future.
Stop trying to destroy people who are only trying to live.
(Verse 1)
Why you looking at me?
Why you pointing at me?
Out of everybody standing here, why you choosing me?
Somebody whispered something... now you're calling it fact.
No proof in your hands, but you're ready to attack.
I've worked too hard to lose what I've built.
I've carried enough pain, enough sorrow, enough guilt.
I ain't your enemy.
I'm just trying to survive.
Trying to love my people.
Trying to keep hope alive.
(Pre-Chorus)
Stop trying me.
Stop trying me.
Every day it's the same old thing.
Trying my patience.
Trying my faith.
Trying to push me to the breaking place.
(Chorus)
Stop trying me!
Stop trying me!
Why can't you let people live in peace?
Stop trying me!
Stop trying me!
Break these chains and let hate cease.
I care about your family.
I care about mine.
I care about every child
Trying to make it through these times.
(Verse 2)
Stop trying to kill me.
Stop trying to kill my neighbor too.
We're all somebody's son.
We're all somebody's daughter.
The answer isn't violence.
The answer starts with honor.
Every heartbeat matters.
Every child deserves tomorrow.
Don't fill another mother's life
With another river of sorrow.
(Bridge)
Turn the anger into wisdom.
Turn the hatred into grace.
Before another family cries,
Before another empty place.
History is watching.
The children are too.
What kind of world
Are we leaving for you?
(Final Chorus)
Stop trying me.
Stop trying me.
Stand for truth—not fear.
Stand for life—not death.
Stand together—not apart.
I won't answer hate with hate.
I won't let lies decide my fate.
I'll keep standing.
I'll keep believing.
I'll keep loving...
Even when you keep trying me.
(Outro)
History is already written.
The next chapter... is ours to choose.
Choose peace.
Choose truth.
Choose life.
