2.9.93 Lyrics

2/9/93

A baby being brought

To life

Innocent unaware of

How hard he'd have to fight

living here

We'll view

How well he'll heal

When he's wounded

By the steel

Life started by

Being given a mother

And father too young

And unprepared

To care for this newborn

listen first lesson

living here know life isn't fair

With that nothing really

You could do for him

From ages 2-5

Parents separate

Then his mother

Gave him away

In her head

She wasn't straight

She wasn't right

Til she found another guy

Then ages 6-10

Happened all over again

Then when he was 11

Started hanging with

The neighborhood kids

Doing bad shit

Throwing rocks bashing

Car windshields

Hear the sirens

They smashing out

But still got caught

By the cops

So probation now

Now he's 14

Repping a color

In the streets

Ganging up with others

Who wanted to be thugs

Lucky for him

He wasn't one

Of the ones

Who got locked up

Young little delinquent

P.o visits frequent

But he still

Ditching class

Ducking 5-0 daily

In the 520 AZ

His mother going crazy

Whooping his ass

She never knew

How to communicate

Or show love

No trust just abuse

For many years

So he fed up

Telling her fuck you

Back to the streets

He ran away to

17 years old

Now what he was up to

Required protection

In his room

Testing the hand gun

That he had to

Get his hands on

Bullet in the chamber

Popped off

2/9/93

A baby being brought

To life

Innocent unaware of

How hard he'd have to fight

living here

We'll view

How well he'll heal

When he's wounded

By the steel

Now a bullet in his femur

In the car he screaming

Finally at the hospital

Doctor said

20 more minutes

Of bleeding

Saving his life

Wouldn't have been possible

The universe showed you

You can't run wild

All your life

New obstacle

Learn to walk again

After tonight

Time goes by

You recover by 23

A few of your homies

Went under

You're working 2 jobs

Making legal cash

You got 2 kids

Own car own pad

All on your own

Really building a better path

Til past actions came back

Deal went south

You were set up from the jump

Surrounded tied up

Getting pistol whipped

Fucked up

Til they had to dip

But not before

Leaving you with

Another bullet wound

2/9/93

A baby being brought

To life

Innocent unaware of

How hard he'd have to fight

living here

We'll view

How well he'll heal

When he's wounded

By the steel
