| She don’t know why
|
| But all she knows
|
| Is that her youngest child
|
| Is a real gangsta now
|
| You see…
|
| He was a good kid all through elementary
|
| A’s and B’s and had no enemies
|
| But he saw all the G’s as he walked home
|
| He couldn’t read all the words on the walls though
|
| So many letters was crossed out with X’s
|
| He wondered he knew not to ask those questions
|
| No pops, and his mom worked tooth and nail
|
| She managed to buy him some shoes on sale
|
| She didn’t know, she bought the wrong color
|
| And they stayed in the closet all summer
|
| Even though the kid wasn’t affiliated
|
| He knew what they loved, and knew what they hated
|
| Now he’s in Middle School, same individual
|
| But this is where things seem to get a bit difficult
|
| This is the life of a young Mexican
|
| Verse one done take me to the second one
|
| 6th grade, «why so much homework?»
|
| Got a pot pie sitting in the stove burnt
|
| Momma still ain’t back from her job yet
|
| So he eats it cause that’s all he got left
|
| Then he plays with his little puppy Cinnamon
|
| His last dog was a victim of a hit n run
|
| There’s a knock on his door it’s his homeboy
|
| Your mom’s gone? |
| He pulls out a chrome toy
|
| «Where'd you get that from?» |
| The kid asked
|
| We broke into a house we got a bunch of shit stashed
|
| It was the first time he ever held a real gun
|
| To get one of these you gotta steal one
|
| We too young they won’t let us buy a gat
|
| Now if they shoot at us we can fiya back
|
| Who is they and why would they blast at me?
|
| Cause you from the hood fool, this is family
|
| A year passes now the kids Dickies sag
|
| In his pocket got a knife and a nickel bag
|
| And the homeboy that showed him his first gun
|
| Got killed last week in a burban
|
| Putting work in 45 jerkin'
|
| Lucky shot hit, popped like a virgin
|
| Closed casket touched as you strolled past it
|
| Got his name tattooed on two hoes asses
|
| So he’ll still be remembered often while
|
| His little bitch gettin' hit doggy style
|
| It ain’t stoppin' now while his moms' on the ground
|
| On her knees yelling «Please Lord not my child
|
| I want to watch him smile
|
| He can turn his Pac up loud
|
| He can sleep with his pitbull on the couch»
|
| And while the kid is listening to her words
|
| All he can think about is bloody, bloody murders |
