I looked on with a sigh, cause I don't lie, and I can't cry We got used to the lie, but we can't die, we all gotta ride But if its true what they do to ya, I won't lie to ya Ohh Shoot before your Shot (down) Yea, they really don't last, Gone with a flash and they think we gonna crack Its like a blast from the past, We seen many fall but you haven't seen the last But if its true what they do to ya, then it's cool baby Ohh You wanna bust but they gonna bust back Shot through the mind Shot through the soul I don't believe these shots been takin' their toll They could do it you, they could do it me One thing I know, I ain't never been free No winners in war Shoot before your shot (down) Shots heard round the world, but not down the street Shots fired on the block, but nobody speak They turn a blind eye but never turn the other cheek Shots fired at a tired heart, They can take away but they remain heartless Fire on the block, So I strap this guitar and take a shot in the darkness Cop is herd but they don't speak, take it all but they stay cheap Oh ohh Cheap shots, cheap bullets
