Lyrics
Produced by: B-Eazy [B-EAZY VERSE 1] A typical Saturday/ Shit, felt like no other/ Headed to Deep Ellum to do a show with the fellas/ I got my shit together/ Packed a leather jacket for the cold weather/ Clips for the Baretta laying by my umbrella/ Shit, I’m down for whatever/ Now-a-day’s snipper’s got you in scope/ Just ask Lee Harvey Oswald in 6-3/ 6th floor chillin’ in the Depository Building/ He sat alone/ Zoned, waiting on the moment/ Knowing that in 3 seconds/ The fuckin’ world would go hectic!/ What an incredible sound!/ The President’s down!/ The crowd distracted by the sounds of 3 rounds/ Some say two, but who’s counting?/ While Lee bouncing out the spot/ Cuz it’s hot/ Damn, on the getaway he had to drop a cop!/ Man that’s deep!/ The Dallas Morning News read “Kennedy Slain on (a Dallas Street)”/ Elm, in fact!/ Johnson becomes President/ In our own backyard/ Who would have thought?/ Damn, who would have thought? [HOOK] Political figures/ Dying at the pull of a trigger/ Who would have figured they would all get shot down?/ Jealousy inside, made a Muslim die/ Why ask why?/ They would all get shot down/ Malcolm X, J.F.K. to Martin Luther King /All had a dream/ But it would all get shot down/ Another brick in the wall/ Watch it crumble and fall/ Who would have thought?/ They would all get shot down [SCOTTIE FREESTYLES VERSE] Dreaming of things that never were/ And asking “Why not?”/ Blood on the kitchen floor/ And the kitchen floor/ And the nation screaming “My God!”/ This the cause of fighting/ Dying here for the world to see/ Shots from a pistol/ Could have missed you/ Where would my people be?/ Maybe it’s necessary/ Where would we be if Martin didn’t get killed?/ Malcolm survived?/ J.F.K. had lived?/ If everyone important wasn’t one we lost/ Imagine what would have happened if Jesus hadn’t got the cross?/ Sometimes a martyr’s just the start of a change/ And the first get it/ The worst: beaten, battered & slain!/ And the thang to me?/ It’s like the greater the message/ The greater the threat/ So if you don’t want me dead/ I haven’t said enough, yet!/ So we keep sangin’ it & sangin’ it/ And brangin’ it/ Until we touch a nerve/ And then we riding in a chariot/ I don’t if Lennon just got killed/ Or was assassinated/ But we gone carry on the struggle, cuz it’s something sacred… [HOOK] [B-EAZY VERSE 2] You can’t get back a life once it’s been aborted/ You can’t rewind to the past and change what was started/ Ain’t no butterfly effect/ But you can record it/ Life is full of choices that you make till that date/ Is it fate?/ A predetermined destiny?/ Is it bigger than what we supposed to see?/ Or is it to be?/ Why they take Makaveli & Biggie away from me?/ R.I.P./ At least I got they CD!/ See you’re a no-body after somebody kills you/ You’re just a body at the funeral/ With lives left so miserable/ The physical/ So fragile, please learn!/ That just like the leaves turn/ Lives must burn!/ And you can keep an urn for the pain/ But all that remains are memories/ See in death there is no remedy/ Ask John F. Kennedy/ Malcolm X, M.L. King/ So many slain by the triggermane/ God, take away the pain… [HOOK] Copyright 2007 B-Eazy Productions. Barge House Music Publishing. Lyrics reprinted with permission.
