[SPM]

It's after midnight while I let this pen write

In my cell it's just me and this dim light

As my thoughts get spilled on a notebook

They shot my homie and I told his girl don't look 

Cause if she saw what I saw it would have haunted her

I heard the paramedics laughing with the officer

I guess they see it as just another dead body

And I know it hurt when his daughter said "Mommy,

Where's daddy I ain't seen him in a long time?"

How can mommy talk she can't even stop crying

The punch line is tomorrow may never come

That's where the cops get 1 8 7 from 

It means murder not death by natural causes

It means homie's clothes redder than Santa Clause's 

In Hillwood many died facing obstacles

I thank God it's not me in that pile of skulls



[CHORUS: CAROLYN]

Slugs around the block boys

Thugging till they drop laws

Putting G's on lock

So we flush it when they knock

Caught up in the system

These haters play the victim

Wanna see us fall

Like dead pictures on the wall



[JAK DA RIPA]

I saw the reaper in my sleep so I might got a death wish

When vultures come around I react so selfish

If you ain't out of the hood you probably think that I'm crazy

Lotta niggas in jail or they pushing up daisies

So many motherfuckers dropping out this shit like flies

Heard a friend of mine just committed suicide

Left his family behind found him hanging from the ceiling

Eyes wide open I just can't imagine the feeling

So many funerals here I am in all black 

Prices put up my head so I'm packing a strap 

When my life is on the line I bring them killas out

I find your residence and bring the drama to your house

Now all what's left is a memory of your existence

Dead pictures on the wall bloody murder's my vision



[CHORUS]



[SPM]

They found my homie Desperado in a garbage heap

Wrapped up throat slit man the scars are deep

That day it felt like the whole city was crying

Lil D if you hear me nigga give me a sign

That nigga that had murdered you got twisted by Jason

Had to tell you 'cause I know that ya'll in different locations

Have you seen Lil Lex? the other day he was killed

Niggas don't got no hustle had to take what he built

I'm afraid to even open up today's newspaper

'Cause the Crow is taking souls like the old Shoemaker

It's enough to make you blow up, throw up or go nuts

My people dying and I fucking love em so much

My homie's brother got killed in a car chase

Cops tried to pull him over back on Park Place

He hauled ass but it ended when he crashed his Taurus

And all he had was some motherfucking traffic warrants



[CHORUS]
