Come Home (Last Verse)

its to late to squash this beef I got my heat I creep across the street to delete this creep he use to be my man before this beef evolved it's funny how friendship dissolve My quick attempt to get the draw he saw as I drew he drew a Mexican stand off And I know I should have squooze but instead I froze visions of us riding big wheels at 4 years old flooded my mind the same time tears flooded my eyes thinking we could be the cause of each others demise baffled by this irony as I looked in his eyes together we escaped death more than a dozen times as I stood there frozen over come with emotion watching the rest of the scene play out in slow motion his hammer tapped the bullet followed by an explosion I felt an intense pain as my flesh tore open I dropped with a thud before the blood start rolling two shots escaped from the weapon I was holding his chest caught them both I heard him gag and choke he's holding on but he's close to the end of his rope me Im cold,scared and shaking knowing there's no hope dam ! even in this beef we will still die close and as I felt death approach to claim us both a angel came and sang the closing notes the last vers from come home
