| it was late that night about a quarter past ten
|
| I’m at my Grandmas house just me and my cousin
|
| we sitting around just bored and doing nothing
|
| so we snuck out and crept out to have a little fun then
|
| I’m on my skateboard he’s on his bike
|
| now he’s towing me down the street up in the middle of the night
|
| now I guess we both knew just what we did it wasn’t right
|
| see we really didn’t care we went a mile and took a right
|
| and at this time there’s no Jesus in my life
|
| I used to cuss used to drink I was nuts I used to fight
|
| then we met up with some kids when we stopped up at the light
|
| then we went up to the store stole some cokes and a sprite
|
| we on the highway and a cop’s driving by
|
| when he slammed up on his brakes that’s the time now when I
|
| turned around to escape through a parking lot to hide
|
| see little did I know that was the night I could’ve died
|
| (one single night one single night night
|
| one single night one single night night)
|
| see I almost got shot by the cops one single night
|
| do you know where you’re gonna go when ya die
|
| (one single night one single night night
|
| one single night one single night night)
|
| see I almost got shot by the cops one single night
|
| do you know where you’re gonna go when its time
|
| by this time see I’m almost to the clearing
|
| the cop said to stop but I really couldn’t hear him
|
| all I did was run and I didn’t even know I was near him
|
| he barely saw me come that’s the reason that I scared him
|
| he had pulled out his gun then fired as I was appearing
|
| it hit me in the chest right then I started feeling
|
| my body going numb and I could feel myself bleeding
|
| now I’m covered in my blood right now this is all im hearing
|
| is my cousin standing over me he’s crying and he’s screaming
|
| the cops holding me plus he’s trying to get me breathing
|
| but it’s getting cold to me and I could feel myself weaken
|
| it getting hard to breathe I can’t even hear him speaking
|
| now my body’s getting weak and I cant see them
|
| will I go to hell cuz God I didn’t need Him
|
| man im only 12 one more chance is what im needing
|
| is this the end now for me will I die this evening like
|
| heres the real facts so listen as I drop em
|
| i got away that night cuz see another kid they caught him
|
| the cop pulled his gun but nah he never shot him
|
| I used to wonder what if they never would’ve got him
|
| I used to think about that night
|
| had I been in the wrong place at the very wrong time
|
| what if that cop would’ve let that bullet fly
|
| what if I would’ve died up at that point up in my life
|
| (what would’ve happened) see I wasn’t living right
|
| the life I was living I wasn’t giving it to Christ
|
| as I’m looking back right now in hindsight
|
| it wasn’t just good luck I didn’t have no nine lives
|
| (it was something more) I got a chance now to find
|
| God could save me and give me peace up in my mind
|
| and then he just changed me when he opened up my eyes
|
| yet I still think back to where I’d be time to time cause I. |
