ME AND 3 OF MY FRIENDS WERE ON THE CORNER CHILLIN'
WHEN WE WERE ATTACKED BY SOME CROSSTOWN VILLAINS
WHO CAME THRU ACTIN' WILD, SPRAYIN' PROJECTILES
PEOPLE RUNNIN' AND SCREAMIN'
FROM THESE BLACK HOODED DEMONS
IN A BLUE CUTLASS SUPREME
IT WAS ABOUT 10 OF'EM IT SEEMED
IT WAS LIKE A BAD DREAM
LIKE SOME GODFATHER SCENE
OUR BEER BOTTLES SHATTERED
AS WE RAN AND SCATTERED
TRYIN' TO FIND SOME COVER
WE WERE SURPRISED BY THESES "BROTHERS"
WITH BLUE BANDANAS ON THEIR HEADS
EYES BLOODSHOT RED
NOW 3 OF MY FRIENDS LAY DEAD
2 WITH BULLETS TO THE HEAD
I WISH IT WERE THE KKK INSTEAD
'CAUSE THEN REVENGE WOULD BE SWEET
INSTEAD OF SHOOTIN' UP PEOPLE THAT LOOKED LIKE ME
BUT THAT WASN'T THE CASE
MY FRIENDS BLOOD SPLATTERED ON MY FACE
AND THERE WERE SHELLS AND CASINGS ALL OVER THE PLACE
BUT SOMEHOW I HAD BEEN SAVED
I ESCAPED UNSCATHED
ONLY TO WATCH 3 CASKETS BE LOWERED TO THEIR GRAVES
AND LIKE THE RINGS OF SATURN
IT WAS A NEVER-ENDING PATTERN
WRAPPING AROUND THE STREETS
BODIES COVERED IN SHEETS
AMBULANCES WAIL, MOTHER'S HEARTS FAIL
POLICE CHALK MARKS THE SPOT OF ANOTHER SAD TALE
SO NOW THE QUESTION THAT LIES BEFORE ME
IS HOW WILL I CHOOSE TO END THIS STORY?
DO I SEEK THE PEACE BY SQUASHIN' THE BEEF
AND RISK MY REPUTATION OUT HERE ON THE STREETS?
OR DO I GO OUT AND AVENGE THE DEATHS OF MY FRIENDS
AND START THIS VICIOUS CYCLE ALL OVER AGAIN?
