South side graduated from hard knocks Wrong side of the tracks so he turned to the streetlights Despise any punk that got something to say, they tried their luck in vain before he blew em' away The one outspoken, parents never supportive, no, they sick of all the times I fuck it up when I be broken Seen too much in this fucked up life "I'm joining the fight, can't hide, you can see the pain in my eyes" was in his note Mom's choked up, dad's doped up, on the lines he's coked up to them he's just a soldier He's got bullets like Ritalin for anyone to try and stop him Going back to his hood just ain't an option So, keep it going Enemies he keeps on smoking Bombs exploding, bodies dropping, don't give a fuck he keeps unloading Didn't believe in me then why would you believe in me now So, wear a frown the situation finna turn around No hope The sense of doom comes rushing in Let go The tide it pulls against us all Blood, shed, my eyes have never glowed such crimson red Aim, hate, organic rush witness this panic inflicting pain I felt the sun burn to keep the darkness away The moon glows in the wake of their eternal sin "When will it be me? When will my family have to grieve?" A collective thought beyond reach Using death as a weapon Use death as a weapon Fell straight out of heaven The moon still shines cold at night I'll do whatever it takes to make sure I can fight it off Use death as a weapon Fell straight out of heaven The sun still burns the light of the sky praying up we ask why am I gonna make it out alive? Blood, shed, my eyes have never glowed such crimson red Aim, hate, organic rush witness this panic inflicting pain No sense of direction just an instinct of killing The shots keep ringing as the blood keeps spilling in the calm of the night The screams pierce through the ringing Collecting the pieces of bones of our brothers in arms You'll never make it out alive Oh father have mercy on my soul I've killed a man with a gun to my brother's head What choices were left with traumatic stress Fatigues can't disguise vacant eyes etched into my skull Furthering the disconnect of a silhouette with each tag I collect
