Life goes on in the streets of my hood when you die

but some cry, and gets by, while others choose to wonder why..

his life was took at such an early age

A young nigga who lived in a rage died by the gauge

He used to hustle on the street corners

His mom would always beg him to quit, but he didn't wanna

As he got older, he got even worse

til a real nigga showed him the purpose of a hearse

A cold night in his hood, he had a tangle

The brother he was squabblin with, had broke his ankle

Laid him out in the driveway

Some people knew he wouldn't survive, but hey

I ain't the one to speak up on another's

All I can do is try to open his eyes and help the brother

He chose the wrong way and that's the route he took

Born and brought up as an angel but he died as a crook

He had a baby that he couldn't raise

and she will never see her father again, cause he's in a grave

I always think about ??

"My daddy was a dopeman, so I'ma be a dope dealer"

How will the family explain it?

"My daughter had a baby for a 'caine head!"

He ain't around to see her walk

Dry her eyes when she cries, pick her up when she falls

Just the thought of a kid livin fly fucks me up

when his girl has to raise a BASTARD child

It gets deeper, he used to punch her and beat her

She was loyal to his ass but accused as a cheater

She had a good deck but she picked the wrong card

Had a kid, now she's realizin life is hard

A big time dope dealer's all she wanted

who drove a Jag or a Benz so she could flaunt it

The situation's got me guessin..

but the answer remains to be a question

He lived his life in a lie

I guess you only get a minute to pray, and a second to die

It was crazy how it happened

Some niggaz rolled by in the Riviera cappin

All I could see was a pistol spittin rounds

and the boy was just screamin as he fell to the ground

A woman yelled - get an ambulance

But I knew he was dead, he didn't stand a chance

You shoulda seen him, he was scared

A bullet goes to his chest, and one to his head

He just laid there in silence..

and all I heard was the sirens

Paramedics pulled up..

followed by a law man and then came a firetruck

Put his ass on the stretcher..

but if he survives, I'm willin to betcha

he'll be out for revenge

They patched him up within a week he was back at it again

Went to his brother on the Northside

Grab your shit, it's a hit, we're gonna take a long ride

Packed it up in the trunk

AK-47, M-11 and a pump

Rolled by ?? on Scott Street

School was lettin out,

"Yo you ain't gonna shoot yet?" "WATCH ME!"

Opened his trunk and grabbed a shotgun..

.. he shot him

Put his tooly on the front seat

Continued his mission, as he headed down the street

The kids was just starin at each other

J.D. rolled by and smoked black's brother

Reached in his coat and grabbed a 'port

Full speed down Reed, shot his mom on the porch

On his way down Cullard

His brother was just dazed in a shock, "Why you do it?"

"Why you shot his moms Jay? Shit"

"Hehehehehe.. hah man fuck that bitch"

Went to the store to use the payphone

Called up Mack, "Aiyyo J.D. homey"

Hung it up and rolled down Dagger

Headin for the nigga he was after

By the time he arrived at the scene

Malcolm was ready for anything

He tried to sneak around the back way

Never thought of bein taken out on that day

Black boy, black coat

Stood around the corner as he passed slit his throat

He didn't fall so he fired

One to the middle of his skull, he's expired

A whole army came out

Twenty-seven niggaz all strapped out of one house

That how it happens in the acre

One nigga died in the park in the paper

Shit gets deeper but why?

I guess you only get a minute to pray,

and a second to die
