[Verse 1:]
He's just chilling with his n***as
Remembering the days while blowing on a Swisher
He holds it down in the memories of these ghosts
Of the kids they once were, for the streets is their host
Like a party, but this one came as a surprise
Five n***as in one Chevy, their intentions are full of pride
co*king back enough force to shake a Jedi
These Stormtroopers hit the block, they even pa**ed a red light
So surprising, they're rising the heat
So they can cook up the beef. Block partying where the losers meet
A hundred feet, til this n***a turns into six
Five shots, four years, three gone, too young, but only one clip
[Hook:]
A child dies in Englewood
A child dies in Englewood
A child dies in Englewood
A child dies in Englewood
[Verse 2:]
In a land that's all black, but only no disciples
To lead you out of the shadows, he read the Holy Bible
He prayed to God, that his family would have their needs taken-
Care of, fair love, plans he's steady making
Graduation was only a week away
Georgetown was where he intended to play
The NBA was his calling, he used to walk with Spaulding
He had a son on the way, he's bout to be a father
He loved his girl and promised her a ring
In a moment, life's about to change everything
A group of n***as with malicious intentions
Three Smith & Wessons and a Glock on opposite directions
Innocent bystanding, he tried to run away
Until he seen a child, so he rushed as they started to spray
A hundred feet, til this n***a turns into six
Five shots, four years, three gone, too young, but only one clip
[Hook:]
[Verse 3:]
She dances and dances, so she can please the ma**es
Honor student, she rised on top of all her cla**es
Anchorwoman was the occupation that she chose
In the ghetto she blossoms like a beautiful rose
When n***as came her way, she kept moving and raised her nose
Cause she could never find a guy that could please her soul
Or her brain, or even better yet, support her dreams
A virgin to life and reality, it would truly seem
She had both of her parents, she's the only child
She prayed to God, even with no church in the wild
But even God needs his angels when he calls for them
I guess that's what happened, because the sun poured
She was minding her business, when it all happened
A group of n***as got mad, then they started attacking
A hundred feet, til this girl turns into six
Five shots, four years, three gone, too young, but only one clip
[Hook:]
All these kids dying in Englewood
All these kids dying in Englewood
All these kids dying in Englewood
All these kids dying in Englewood
Do you see them? Yeager
