Hey, excuse me sir
Do you have some spare change, like a dollar or something?
Come on man, you know I really need it man
I used to know this dope fiend named Johnny
Before he started using, was a good kid
Straight A student in middle school
And then his father dropped dead in a drive-by shooting
Then he started smoking weed, the trees helped him get through it
I smoked with him, I could see the darkness in his eyes
No surprise, then he joined a gang to strengthen his ties
A bunch of fatherless guys, so he could relate to 'em
That's where he found the love that his daddy once gave to him
It's a brotherhood, then he started beefing with another hood
With kids we used to play with but moved to different neighborhoods
Around the block, used to be friends but now considered opps
If you had a problem, you settled it in the parking lot
But things changed, we went from fist fights to switchblades
In ninth grade, the homie got stabbed in his ribcage
He survived it, then got some fame about it
The doctors gave him Vicodin so he's on autopilot
When he got back to his block, they gave him a Glock
They're peer pressuring for him to seek revenge on his opps
Deep down he didn't want to but he didn't wanna be looked at
Like a bitch so he was down to get his lick back
Click clack, let's go get that cocksucker
I know where his mama stay, she used to make me supper
She used to watch me when I was a kid, but fuck her
Drive-by, there he is, let's kill that motherfucker
When he let the trigger squeeze, he ain't feel right
Then the bullet hit his target in the windpipe
He saw his mom running and she fell to her knees
She had her baby in her arms telling him to just breathe
He could never get that imagery up out of his head
Night after night, night after night he laid awake in his bed
He got away with it but wished that he was dead instead
Shortly after, homie got really addicted to meds
Damn, then he dropped out of school and started using
Every drug known to man, homie was abusing
Just the other night I seen Johnny while I was cruising
He asked me for a dollar, I told him I'll get him food
And he said "No, I don't want no food dog, I want some dope
Shit is hard out here man, I ain't got no hope
I need that shit to cope, don't you see dog?"
I seen way too many things so it's hard for me to cry
I seen too many die but they're breathing, still alive
When I look into their eyes I see a child that died
They walking and talking but really dead inside, barely surviving
