Couldn't answer such a horrible pain to live through I tried to trade places in the tragedy I couldn't picture three crazed n***as grabbin' me For just a moment I was trapped in the pain, Lord come and take me Four n***as violated, they chased and they raped me Even though it wasn't me, I could feel the grief Thinkin' with your brains blown that would make the pain go No!
