As I walk down my block, I check out my hood
I stop at the corner, saw some hustla's nearby, they were up to no
good
Cars flyin by, one way streets
Blastin there music, flossin there beats
I'm still on the corner, the street light actin like it don't
wanna change
Next thing i know I feel this piercin pain
Gun shots ringin in my ear
Deafenin screams
I cain't get out a single tear
As I began to bleed
I'm startin to lose my breath
Blood soakin my wife-beater, all on my chest
I'm losin my strength, to weak to cry
Past events begin to flash by my eyes
Then I realized
it was my life
Blood in a puddle surroundin my body and all on the floor
Caint believe I'm bout to die I was just walkin to the store
My breathin gettin shorter my life was numbered in minutes
Nobody was tryna help me and I didnt get it
I looked up at the sky I saw my momma eyes, lookin back, how many more
minutes did I have left
cuz she was the best
But she was taken two years ago by death
I knew what I was 'sposed to do so I closed my eyes
Said a lil prayer, "Lord Please forgive my sins and lies"
Life is a mothafucka, but death is sumthin
I heard my momma callin me, I looked up
And said "I'm Comin"
