Lyrics
Blood on the Sidewalk ( Cuetasos , ( drive by )
warm summer night , young man on the street
playing Cowboys and indians a recent memory
he was green with possibilities
out with the Vatos just having some fun
Rough and ready he didn't have a gun
but he had all the bravdao he would need
he had trust in his destiny
Chorus
( cuetasos , cuetasos )
out in the west he took it in the chest
now there's blood on the sidewalk, blood on the sidewalk
when the cars drove by , there was menace in their eyes
there were shouts and signs , shots rang out
and their engines, they whined.
he looked at his shirt stained andred
quick thoughts ran through his head ,
it was hard to believe
he was hurt, he could bleed.
Chorus :
Cut down before he could start
on the ground a bullet in his heart
out in the wild west
the boy is dead
and the cowards they Fled
Chorus , Chorus
