[Hook]
Got up outta bed
Looked through the window, saw a n***a take a bullet to the head
Asphalt covered in red, I knew that he was dead
[Verse]
Mom callin' my a**, gotta drive me to school
I was only 8 years old, saw a n***a drown in a pool
Of blood, he hit the pavement with a thump
Aight, lemme back this sh** up
Saw a n***a crusin' in a 69 drop
Hydraulics under, rims shiny
And I saw a MAC-11, that muthaf**a' let off seven
b**hes screaming, fathers hidin' children
Some n***a on the corner got hit, almost k**ed him
All this sh** was bone chilling, body shaking with shivers
The arrow that made me who I am, a n***a dead was the quiver
He kept drivin, swervin'
Didn't stop at the sign, f**ed up a Suburban
But all that was prequel to a murder
I saw a n***a jump up out his whip
Sun beatin' down on his skin, skull cap and a snap back
Shots fired at him, he snapped back
Hollow tips whizzing, them n***as was getting busy
Dodging bullets, determined not to get his a** clapped
n***as in they cars was dialing, people screaming tryna stop the violence
He sht a few, tryna instill silence
Then I saw a shorty get hit, collapsed on his a**
Everyone jumped out they cars, screaming at the n***a who took it too far
Heard sirens, then the n***a got his a** whooped by the law
[Hook]
Got up outta bed
Looked through the window, saw a n***a take a bullet to the head
Asphalt covered in red, I knew that he was dead
