Late night coolin' with my homies

Drinkin' Hennessey and cold brew



After smokin', stopped in Oakland

Got the munchies for some soul food



So we stopped to get a bite to eat

At the local Bar-B-Q



It's just another boring Monday

And there's nothing else to do



Now as we stepped out of the car

I heard someone behind me fighting



So I turned to look and find out

What's the cause of this excitement



The brother was a dopefiend

And the other was a dopeman



And the dopeman had an AK

Said he'll spray and he's not jokin'



Well it seems to be the dopefiend

Owed the dopeman for his product



And he swore if he did not pay

He would end up getting shot up



Now I could not walk away

Cause I got caught up in the scene



Wondering, what would happen to this

Poor and helpless fiend



Well my homie Michael Cooley

Said let's go and make our order



What's the use in watchin' two men

Stand out here and fight for quarters



While I walked inside the diner

And all the dope fiends waved to me



Heard the sound of several gun shots

And I ran outside to see...





Another gun shot rings

(What's going on?)

Another siren rings

(What's going on?)

Another mother cries

(What's going on?)

Cause another innocent died

(What's going on?)



All the people in the diner

Ran outside to see the big show



It was just another party

For them to see just who would they know



But for me I held concern

I wanted to go see the outcome



Would the mother see her son tonight

Or would she live her life without one?



I made it to the streets I

Almost cried right on the spot



Not only had the fiend died

But a small girl had been shot



My heart could take no more

I felt a small tear roll down my face



That was daddy's bullet

But she took it in his place







Tried to make my way through the crowd

So I could go help the baby



She could barely speak, but she was spray

Mister can you please save me



So I screamed out someone help me

But I don't think they could hear



And if they did, they didn't care

Oh how I hated everyone there



The baby lie here, dying

And I wondered what could I do



The cameraman and newspapers had come

To get their interviews



To them it's just a story

And they can't see the tragedy



To them it doesn't matter

Cause it ain't and wasn't their family



I don't think I'll be back

Cause it'll never be the same here



So I wipe away the tears

And leave the scene the way I came here



Those people say it's crazy

And the poor could have been finer



I'll never forget, never forget the night

At Dopefiend's Diner
