There once was a kid who lived just down the street
|
A quater block from me
|
He shaved off his hair, put boots on his feet
|
And said this was his country
|
The day came around and the shit all went down
|
And too late to see the light
|
He was caught up and shot up in a fight
|
Won't you close your eyes
|
There once was a kid from South Central L.A.
|
Who threw up his set all day
|
All dressed in blue nothing to do
|
Said "hey man, what set you claim"
|
The blood pulled a nine
|
And threw up his sign, then let the trigger slide
|
And he was, caught up and shot up in a fight
|
Life can get cut short so
|
Try to stay in line
|
You wanna be a man
|
But this shit happens all the time
|
So let's just all hang out
|
Don't give a fuck about what they say
|
Cause they're all lame
|
And we're all still the same
|
Won't you close your eyes
|
