dodged a bullet
a scary story
a frightening sight
at least she didn't get into a fight
all she needed was her knight
on her way walking
on the phone talking
picking up her kids
wearing their favorite fitted hats from a company called lids
waiting for mom arrival
never realize until they were on their way home that it was all about survival
two guys arguing
voices raising
arguments escalating
over drug money
one guy pulls out a burner
other guy is on the run like a competitor in a 50 meter sprint
gun aimed upward
visuals of spark that ignited the bullet to fly
homeboy didn't have time to say bye
the chase is on
to see if homeboy with the gun would've connected on his foe and claim victory that he won
few minutes later,
cops busted a whole bunch
they all lined up not waiting to clock out for lunch
they all got arrested
my friend and her kids reassure their future will continue to be wisely invested
no sense of value of respect
no sense of value of life
that part of the block is forbidden
there was no animosity in her heart, their actions was already forgiven
