Lyrics
They left his body in the street He was leaking A car screeched Everybody’s nerves peaking His cousin came crying He couldn’t believe it A lifeless body in his arms He was screaming The Law came after he trooped to this house With blood on his sneakers Repeated the incomplete account The Mama collapsed when she heard the news A treasure she wasn’t prepared to lose She ain’t think when he left the crib It would’ve been her last view With all these wolves and snakes out here It’s like a zoo Who would prey on her son? Was he an animal too? Well he had to transform to survive You know the rules Whispers was trickling What happened? Who saw it coming? Questions loomed And nobody knew who had done it Somebody tweets: “it was from a beef in the 9th grade” When them boys who did it Got run up on with a knife blade They never overcame In time their spites raised Four years ago, but still feeling this high rage But on that night They ain’t peel off And then feel the lift of a weight Only felt more pain Taking life a burdened mistake Stomachs turning with hate Hearts burning with fear Then it becomes a cycle And lives get caught in the gears The same ones that lower down the coffins
