Unwritten Law - Close Your Eyes lyrics

There once was a kid who lived just down the street A quater block from me He shaved off his hair, put boots on his feet And said this was his country The day came around and the sh** all went down And too late to see the light He was caught up and shot up in a fight Won't you close your eyes There once was a kid from South Central L.A Who threw up his set all day All dressed in blue nothing to do Said "hey man, what set you claim" The blood pulled a nine And threw up his sign, then let the trigger slide And he was, caught up and shot up in a fight Life can get cut short so Try to stay in line You wanna be a man But this sh** happens all the time So let's just all hang out Don't give a f** about what they say Cause they're all lame And we're all still the same Won't you close your eyes
