Drive By-Coward Points a Gun Shoots a Gun Then Runs
Not a soldier of war
MIA'S Caught up in a family of no one cares just drive by
MIA-Mother's Involvements Always cries
Raising infant, toddler, teenaged boys alone what for
Cousin Charlie sitting on the steps
Not even knowing it's soon to be his last breath
You better run
Drive, bye...
Coward points a gun
Run
Somebody
Dun got loose
Shot brother Bruce
Better run
Shoots his next victim
Run everyone
Someone got a gun
Bullets left the chamber
Everyone in front of point range in danger
Dragnet and rage, shootings all weekend
Friends turning on friends
Neither a battle, now a war
Killing, maiming and wounding our men and boys
Black boys and men being killed just because they can
Not greed nor material things or money just drive by
I can pull the trigger and run just because I can and run
No concern about life, just like a roach you step on
Run everyone
Someone got a gun
Bullets left the chamber
Everyone in front of point range in danger
Just enough running don't look up, comin by your hood
Just ridin, a good day for a ride, comin by your house.......
Bullets just don't Drive, bye
Nor like rainfall down from the sky
Run everyone
Someone got a gun
Bullets left the chamber
Everyone in front of point range in danger DRIVE BY?
