| He’s stuntin in his Robin jeans
|
| Said True Religion’s played out
|
| The cries of his mother’s screams
|
| He’s on the ground laid out
|
| The child is only 17
|
| Ambulance sound like they in route
|
| His uncle’s steady sayin', «Breathe!»
|
| But shorty’s steady passin' out
|
| Claimin' that his back stings
|
| Because the way his back’s slouched
|
| He knows he’s on his last wing
|
| He finally say his last «ouch»
|
| Pants hangin' to his knees
|
| Blood runnin' from his mouth
|
| Pistol in his back pocket
|
| He never got the chance to pull it out
|
| Granny screamin', «Lord, please!»
|
| Hhe still sees him as a boy scout
|
| She never knew that he was one of these
|
| He lived a life she never knew about
|
| The families that he made grieve
|
| The women that he’s dogged out
|
| The child who used to rake leaves
|
| He’s headed to the morgue now
|
| I pray to God he make it through them gates
|
| The Bible say it’s based upon your faith
|
| They raise us to be apes
|
| We pray if you don’t run for your survival
|
| And half of us ain’t never gon' escape
|
| Through all of it I smile
|
| Cause I know I’m only standin' here by grace |
| Today I stare the devil in his face, no longer in denial
|
| I know the gift I got is God-given, too talented to let it go to waste
|
| The coffin holds the child
|
| A 7-minute shootout at his wake
|
| The parents need an exit to escape
|
| They runnin' through the aisles
|
| Time to pull another black suit out
|
| They shot a pregnant mother in her face
|
| The thought of it is wild
|
| Seven shot but only took two out
|
| Fled the scene and never left a trace
|
| It never went to trial
|
| These murder scene’s especially when school out
|
| It hurts to see this happen to my race
|
| Maybe it’s in the water, maybe it’s in the weed
|
| Maybe it’s some kind of disorder that’s within the seed
|
| Let’s rectify the horror, they petrified to read
|
| Their minds are out of order, they lackin' what they need
|
| They dyin' right before us, detectives catchin' leads
|
| They mothers lyin' for 'em, they justify they deeds
|
| They out here dyin' for it, they so caught up in greed
|
| They bound to rob you for it, give it up or bleed
|
| My tongue’s an iron sword, I give 'em what they need |
| These children’s minds are bored, if only they would heed
|
| Caught up in time for Louis Vuitton jeans
|
| Air Jordan Concords, I’ll take a pair of 3's
|
| Stay in the time boy, you think it’s palm trees
|
| Give 'em a sign, Lord, they such a young breed
|
| Renew they minds, Lord, they lettin' guns squeeze
|
| These bullets flyin', Lord, they hittin' the wrong scenes
|
| They out they minds, Lord, it’s if they don’t bleed
|
| Must be the Crown Royal, must be the strong weed
|
| Must be them lines, Lord, must be the codeine
|
| That makes the mind force, move at a slow speed
|
| Round and round we go
|
| We go round and round we go
|
| In circles
|
| And the beat goes on like
|
| Round and round we go
|
| And it’s round and round we go
|
| In circles, circles |
