The 34th Murder


The streets raised him well cause it's a jungle in the hood

Survival of the fittest yea he was living  good

Quick cash coming in providing for Rae ken and dbo

Yea they was living good too but little did they know

Once 2:40 hit he was on strother block

wit Quinny and his mans yea he was slingin rock

But don't get caught up in all them hood fantasies

Cause there's never a happy ending to a tragedy

He needed that cash quick fast and in a hurry

He wanted to ball like his last name was curry

Grandma told you boy that everything got a price

and if you can't pay it it'll cost you your whole life

So boy what's your worth a couple bands and some kilos

Rae done found out and she went to tell Dbo

Who gone take care of us if something happen to you Laney

Did you even think about your baby momma or your baby

This girl you got pregnant can be turn into your wife

Right now you not thinkin boy you tryna lose your life

He promised that he quit and man he was doin good

but once you in it's hard to get out of this hood

If you making me a promise better keep it understood

you said you crossed your heart and you put it on yo hood

You said it's just one party I ain't gone be out all night

All it take is just one party for you to go and lose your life

You ain't answer your phone so I showed up in the hood

I'm looking for 2fly where he at is he good?

Look to my left and see a boy that's crossfaded

he lifts up his head and can't tell me what his name is

see this what I mean G you can't do nothing right

Sweet Baby Rae calm down i'm alright

Boy you in a hood where everybody want ya head

Shots start flyin everybody duckin heads

My whole world stops once I see you in my hands

Lord take it back

you made a mistake

The boy in arms ain't the one you should take

How am I supposed to live

Can I even survive

When we watched each other's tears fall that was our goodbye
