[Verse 1: R. Kelly]
Somewhere in the world a boy or girl is being buried by their mother
Somewhere in the world there is violence, brother against brother
Do your dance, get in your zone, they can't take you out that
Do your dance, get in your zone, they can't take you out that
Every hood, every block, somebody's dying over nothing
All this hating gotta stop, you gotta know life is worth something

[Pre-Chorus: R. Kelly]
So do your dance, get in your zone
Nah they can't take you out that
Just do your dance, get in your zone
No they can't take you out that

[Chorus: R. Kelly]
From Chicago to L.A
Houston, Miami
All the way to St. Tropez
There's gotta be a better way
You got to, you got to, you got to
You got to, you got to
Put the guns down, put the guns down
From Chicago to L.A
Houston, Miami
All the way to St. Tropez
There's gotta be a better way

[Verse 2: Tink]
Kids is dying in front of their house
They giving up life, ain't no hope for them making it out
They 15 buying a two
Just to feel more safe when they gotta make it home from school
Cause you know how the innocent die
Our sons need love every week, it's a funeral line
And bitches wanna party in peace
Get the east, to the west, to the south side moving their feet
Right now moving their feet
Right now moving their feet
Get the east, to the west, to the south side moving their feet
Right now moving in peace
Right now moving in peace
Get the east, to the west, to the south side moving in peace

R. Kelly

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
