1st verse
Jamie's twenty-six,workin' full time
Decent rate of pay on the a**embly line
Tryin' to make a life with his wife-to-be
Bought a nice home,he's doin' seven nights a week
Bustin' his a** to keep things on the level
But when he ain't looking,there's something brewing in the kettle
Jamie's girl's got a man on the side
Make it worse,it's his best friend,she's handin' him lines
Of how she loves him,and Jamie believes her
'Till he sees her in bed with him,in rage grabs a heater
She's screamin',Jamie's boy tries to reason
Pleadin' for him to drop the gun,keep his freedom
Hearts are beatin',red is what Jamie's seein'
Starts squeezin' the trigger 'till they both aren't breathin'
Drops to his knees when he comes to and sees them
Lying motionless on the floor,badly bleedin'
Two counts of murder one and he knows it
Debates puttin' the Glock to his dome and blow it
All the choices he had five minutes ago,he chose this
To end the lives of those he held closest
It's a bad situation
2nd verse
Carla's twenty-one and got herself a young daughter
Raising her alone,no involvement from the father
But she's got a new man,things appear to have promise
'Till his true colors come out and he starts beatin' on her
Knockin' her around and she's knocked up but
What would happen to her if she has him locked up
Sick of him but she sticks with him
Months down the road,the plot starts thickenin'
She goes up to her infant daughter's room to tend to
The baby and the child's arm is swollen and tender
He's playing off like he knows nothing about it
An hour before,he was with the child so she doubts it
Carla takes the baby to the ER,diagnosis
The arm is broken,they suspect intentional harm
Carla never envisioned the day
When Children's Aid would come and take her children away
It''s a bad situation
3rd verse
Tina's nineteen,she's got her whole life ahead her
Servin' drinks at the club,goin' to college to get a
Better education for a job better payin'
Attractive,walkin' a straight path and not strayin'
She caught the eye of some dude that seemed shady
He asks for her number,says she could be his dream lady
Tina tells him "no," he ain't takin' it as an answer
One night he follows her home,he's got plans for
A time where they could be alone with no one around
That time arrived,he crept behind and got her on the ground
Tina tried to scream but she couldn't 'cause he stopped her
Blocked her mouth with his hand,put all his weight on top her
Shift the scene,Tina's in a hospital bed
Left for dead,found unconscious with trauma to her head
When she'd wake,she'd learn how cruel fate can be
Her rapist tested positive for HIV
It's a bad situation
