letra de line to a grave - mario william vitale

a long time ago, when i was a kid there was
lots of stupid stuff that i know that i did
but one thing i know is, if i had a beef with somebody else, then i’d knock out his teeth

there was no need for knives, cus i dont mind a fight
only cowards use blades, and you know that i’m right
if you can’t use your fists like a real man would
then i’d give it up boy cause you’re really no good

we would battle it out, not go in for the k!ll
it was to sort out a problem not a maniacs thrill. the best man would win and then it was done. sorted out like two men, without a knife or a gun

we don’t beat on our woman, nor man handle the old
it was not our intention to be laced up in gold
we wasn’t bought up to go out and rob
so we did what they all did then and got us a job

we never took our vengeance over the top
we never shot at people or murdered a cop if thats my attitude i would have been shown the door
if you wanna be a k!ller then go find you a war

would they be as brave if the other’s shot back or if they’d walked on a land mine cus they’d strayed off the track
travelling to places where kids are dying of aids and instead of staying too help they could go out on night raids

now its got to be said that i am getting no younger but my heart brims with hurt when kids are dying of hunger. so if you wanna be a man then just throw down your gun. go and travel to these lands where there is work to be done

if you think your a big man and you want to see death. go to a land with no water and you’ll see the bereft. and if you’re so big that you dont feel the pain
just take that blade out and open a vein

isn’t it time for you to at last realise
that attrocities are real and dont come in disguise
so go out there ‘boy’ and do all that you can
and when you do that i will call you a ‘man’

so i hope you heed the warning to keep away from that gun. give your mother an extra day of seeing her son
smiling and breathing, that child to whom she gave birth
not rotting in a graveyard covered by six foot of earth

learn a lesson from your breatheren who end up full of lead and end the retaliation that leaves another kid dead
the hospitals can give figures better than i ever could
but just listening to the news i know they cannot be good

so if you must fight take a tip from the past use your natural resourses and that way you may last, to use a knife or a gun you dont have to be brave
and it’s sure as hell a fast line to a grave
