Loreal Tsingine

Was I the last to say before you pulled the

trigger??

you had a gun back up all I had was

scissors

I guess you had the last word it ended with a

bang

shot 5 times isn’t that

strange

maybe lost my conscious on the first

two

of course the first bullet my body it went

through

charge for stealing you don't know what I've been

through

you got off clean with pay, wish I was here to

stay

see my daughter before

she

wonder why our time had to end so

shortly

wonder why her mom isn’t on top

stories

getting justice for the crimes that were filed against

me

I could’ve easily done the

time

isn’t that what you trained for? to control me and

mine

but you go about your ways what happened to warning

shots??

those were the days looking up to a great

cop

so now I'm on the ground looking up to a

"great cop"

who knew stealing would cost my

life

I guess I was wrong cause he did what's

right

I guess those bullets cost more than my

life

now you know that I paid my in

price

stealing some shooters and a pack of

cigarettes

gave you no reason to throw me on

chest

witnesses said I was gasping for

air

of course I knew I was the one laying

there

while you

”Mr. big with the Badge”

took all the things in life I could've

had

the anger lives on, the pains all

gone

my justice is lost so your case who

won?
