I remember the days
Of getting drunk in our ally
Nothing to our name
But an empty bottle
Living was easy
I never took life serious
Until he unfolded a secret
That I'll remember forever
He said, "If I shut my eyes for good, say a prayer for me"
He said, "If I shut my eyes for good, say a prayer for me"
He must have been under pressure
Cause I can feel him reaching out
Through the windows of his soul
I had no time to act
Only time to roll
The sun was setting
My home-boy said, "Let's take a ride"
"Go have some fun with a gun"
But to my surprise another lowrider down the street
Got involved in the shooting
A single shot to the head
Sent my home-boy to his early grave
Let me say a prayer for you
Before you shut your eyes for good
Let me say a prayer for you
He's fighting it, trying to stay alive
He's feeling the pain of a bullet wound
He's bleeding, he's needing the help of someone
He's fading, I know, God is waiting
As I looked into his closing eyes
I said a prayer
Jehovah Rafa
