16 years, 16 ways
They shot my baby by mistake
I'm all alone on a midnight ride
My 16 kids, they all have died
They ain't coming back
It's too late
I haven't slept in 14 days
And now it's time to barricade
Myself in these 4 walls
My 16 kids, they all have gone
They ain't coming back, no
It's too late
They shot my baby but they killed my faith
They shot my baby but they killed my faith
I worked so hard for 40 years
I told my girls they had nothing to fear
Then one by one, they got shot down
The youngest one had a gun to his ear
They ain't coming back, no no no
It's too late
They shot my baby but they killed my faith
They ain't coming back, no
It's too late
They shot my baby but they killed my faith
They shot my baby but they killed my faith
They shot my baby but they killed my faith
They shot my baby but they killed my faith
