Another One Gone

A young boy walks down a dark city street His headphones on as he walks with a beat For some reason he keeps on looking back Because in his jacket there is a bag of crack He keeps on looking for a buyer In his very short life the boy has no priors Turning on another dark street a dark car pulls up All he can think is the police trying to set him up The young man in the car ask if I have some The young boy turns and pretends to play dumb The man says you know what I mean The young boy didn't want to cause a scene Then the boy reached behind his back And said you want some crack? Then the young man in the car pulled out a gun And then the boy just looked up and was stun The boy tried to run He knew this deal was finally going to be done The young boy can hear a sound As his body just hit the ground All he could see is his blood all around Another young boy gets killed I don't know maybe he just doesn't have the skills He was just trying to make ends meet And try to get some food for his family to eat But all that ever seems to happen Is another young man passing And another family sadden
