Well indeed you lost your friend 

On the south side of where you live 

Heard the call and had to leave 

Boarded up windows burned out brick 

Oh please don't you get 

A little know fact about the place you set 

It's always an empty plate 

It's just there so we don't 

Forget your loss and your history 



Well indeed you found your friend 

On the south side of where you live 

All curled around his knees 

Was it worse then you fret 

The punishment you get 

Hollow points in the concrete 



Have you wailed for the likes of the walls and hunger strikes 

Are you more than what you hate 

Your fear will not fade the lines 

That paint your face 

It's a black cab motorcade 

Black cab motorcade 



Well this one must be lost 

At this ungodly time of day 

A broken curfew has a cost 

A tidy sum you'll pay 

Teacher won't you teach your lesson 

Though the young are hard to break 

Mr smith and mr wesson 

And the cost of school these days 



Well indeed you found your friend 

On the south side of where you live 

He was up and walking again 

And have you heard what's happened since 

Oh please don't you get 

Is there any honor outside of revenge 

Don't let her set another empty place 

We swear that we won't 



Forget your loss and your history 

Forget your cross and your history 



Have you wailed for the likes of the walls and hunger strikes 

Are you more than what you hate 

Well your fear will not fade the lines 

That paint your face 

It's a black cab motorcade 

Black cab motorcade 

Black cab motorcade
