Untitled
I gazed helplessly full of sorrow
Knowing that this boy wont see tomorrow
He laid there on the ground
Full of agony but cried not a sound
My eyes full of silent tears
His eyes full of silent fears
He will die because of quick money
Because of the dangers he failed to see
He played with fire to feed his kids and wife
Now his body will never again breathe life
He'll be remembered only through a grave
People will forget where his body laid
In his coffin his soul will rest
With two shots in his chest
He was just a youth trying to be a man
It was the consequences he didn't understand
Now he lies here with his last few words
"Tell my wife I love her," was all I heard
