STOP Lyrics by Ash Reed
Yeah
Everywhere I look, somebody mad
Somebody judging, somebody hating, for what?
You wake up, you breathe, you got another day
And all you wanna do is hate somebody else?
Man
Stop, stop
Put the hate down, let it drive
Life too short, watch that clock
One day here, one day not
Stop, stop
Why you wasting all you got?
Throwing stones from your little spot
Word on fire and you still caught up
Stop, stop
Take a breath and look around
Everybody fighting battles now
Love gets lost when hate gets loud
Stop, stop
We don’t need no more of that
Build something chase a dream instead
Lead a hate where it at yeah uh
I see people spending all day online
Trying to tear somebody down for a little shine
Talking tough from behind the screen
Acting like they know what another man means
Everybody got scars, everybody got pain, everybody got storms, everybody got rain
But some people wake up and choose to spread dark, throwing gasoline on a tiny spark
Man, I don’t understand, it never made sense to me
You got one damn life and that’s a guarantee
Could’ve built a business, could’ve called your mom
Could’ve chased your dreams, instead you’re riding bombs
Tell me what you gain, tell me what you prove
When your whole damn day is watching others move
Stop, stop
Put the hate down, let it drop
Life too short, watch that clock
One day here, one day not
Stop, stop
Why you wasting all you got?
Throwing stones from your little spot
World on fire and you still caught up
Stop stop
Take a breath and look around
Everybody fighting battles now
Love gets lost when hate gets loud
Stop stop
We don’t need no more of that
Build something, chase a dream instead
Leave the hate where it’s at
Yeah, uh
Kids need fathers, mothers need peace
Families breaking, people can’t eat
War’s going on, people losing homes
People feelin’ lonely, sittin’ all alone
But somehow every day the biggest thing you found
Is a stranger on the internet livin’ their life now
Man, that ain’t it, that ain’t the way
You blink twice and your years fade away
Go travel somewhere, go fall in love
Go hug your people, thank God above
Go build memories, go make mistakes
But don’t waste your life livin’ full of hate
Yeah, I ain’t perfect, I got flaws too
Got anger in my chest, like we all do
But I learned real quick what hate’ll make
A prison in your soul that you help create
Every count, every shot, every bitter little thing you got
You’re saving your day by day
Till your whole damn life gets thrown away
Nah
I refuse that road
I rather build something before I gone gone gone
Stop, stop
Put the hate down, let it dry
Life too short, watch that clock
One day here, one day now
Stop, look around and understand
We all bleed, we all stand
Trying our best in this land
Leave the judging, leave the lies
Put some love back in their lives
You ain’t gotta be that guy
Before your whole life passes by
Before your dreams and chances die
Before you wonder why
This life ain’t forever
Don’t waste it hatin’.
Build.
