Cold Journey
From a train to a car to the blood on the tar
boys be laying in the street with a gun at their feet
Dead cause thug was the name
they were raised to believe
Now its blue vs red vs blue and red feds
equality's a dream that died
ina troubled youths head
Cause peace was the vision of a hood kid who
hung with other kids he thought were his friends
He got cheated and beatup and treated like hell
by the niggas he thought were his friends as well
So his peace dream died but he should of kept it
cause now picking up a gun equalled being respected
Then he joined the red side cause his oppressors were blue
He took pride in the task to kil his old crew
So he filled up his pistol and got on a train
to a car that would take him down memory lane
As he greeted his brothers and stood by the car
he heard a loud bang and fell on the tar
Now he realised the blue crew saw the jump coming
then he died in the blood that he dreamt of becoming
