Lyrics

I heard the clerk recite the price, very polite/
I had to wait a long time in the line that night/
Making sure I ticked everything off of my list/
Trying to see my car somewhere in the fog and mist/
Pulled my hood up, it started to rain and thunder/
And as I walked through the water I began to wonder/
What was that woman behind me doing all alone/
Minding her kids on her own… If only I had known/
A week ago she miscarried and her husband left her/
Crushed the lovers nectar now she’s the sole protector/
A whole world crumbling down with the responsibility/
Every problem was solved, but not so simply/
She lacked the self respect to get herself in check/
Left her health in wreck, but it wasn’t selfishness/
It was just about the problem of life in another land/
A fist in one, and a needle held in the other hand/
She forgot about herself, her kids and others/
Tried to hide from problems with men under covers/
Another child born alone to a single mother/
Scared no one will love her, she didn’t want another/
So the inside of a dumpster was where the baby’s found/
But in the store, she almost looked happy now/
Her kids running around her asking what they can have/
She smiled and quietly told them to put it back/
The man behind her who was getting impatient/
Was a two time felon and never gonna make it/
He had his rent and plenty of bills to pay/
And he didn’t even know he was going to kill today/
The heat by his side was just to get the money/
How quickly things can escalate is almost funny/
A shot would ring out… The safety was off/
The clerks body slumped, displaying the cost/
He couldn’t go back to the cell that he detested/
But his story would end, sooner than expected/
Behind him was a kid he had run into before/
Just graduated school and wanted to study law/
But that’s not what the woman behind saw in him/
She saw a young criminal absorbed in sin/
Kinda strange that she missed the real target by inches/
But her mind was focused by the past she never mentions/
It had like this since a teen had stolen her purse/
She swore she’d be this way till she was rolled in a hearse/
But when he turned and she looked right at him/
There was something in his eyes that she couldn’t quite fathom/
He was going to offer to help her so she could get around/
Before the crook broke out and told everyone to hit the ground/
Now the kid in the Bape jacket that the old lady was eying/
Tried to take the crook down and caught a bullet in his spine/
She was truly horrified when she saw his eyes/
So petrified, but still she almost cried/
She visited him every day at his bed in the hospital/
Ever since she heard that the surgery went not so well/
They became good friends, to be honest she didn’t have many/
She brought him gifts, flowers and stories a plenty/
She saw him lose friends and meet a lot of lives/
Too bad she never told him she just wanted to apologise/
Pretty soon lung cancer had her hospitalised/
It was the cigarettes that she bought from the store that night/
She was terminal, with no possible chance of a breakthrough/
She gave the boy everything in her will, and said thank you/
Actually the doctor that handed her the life sentence/
Had a sister in the store that night, in a bright red dress/
And she was just joining the end of the line/
When the crook broke out and the bullets started flying/
She ran quickly to find a safe place in an aisle/
Rang the cops frantic and still in denial/
The operator said units were headed in her direction/
So she stayed camped out in the frozen food section/
Which was actually where another man saw her first/
Ben was infatuated, and in her beauty submersed/
But he knew he couldn’t act, he was a married man/
Too bad his wife had a distinctly varied plan/
At home right now making love to another man/
Held his head in one and her ring in the other hand/
In later years Ben left her, claiming she was distant/
Gave her all his love, but cupid must
