Album: Still I Rise

Track No: 12

Word, it's like all we got left, teardrops and closed caskets
Tell me how you feel, homie
It took a week to go down, recollects and see you crazy it sounds
The whole town's on a mission, adolescents, penitentiary bound
Now introducin' Young Trigga, since birth
Eyes set on gettin' bigger, just another wild ass ****
But he was fiendin' for Precious, what?
But Precious was a ghetto girl, couldn't be no sex without that gold Lexus
But lil' Trigga was heartbroken, he had to get his papers
Seein' visions of people smokin' and **** catchin' vapors
Got his man from around the corner, we call him Lil' Mo
Been in so many reform schools, they had to let him go
Here's where the plot thickens
They got a plot to make a profit with they Glocks spittin'
They call him squad, hittin' blocks with they guns blowin'
Somebody's gonna die tonight, still no one's knowin' so they kept goin'
Catchin' dealers comin' out they cars, will they survive?
Two semi-automatic 9's, them **** died
Plus nobody in the hood cries
It's like they celebrate to death and wish they could die
So peep the lesson, but wait a minute, back to Precious
She's snortin' dope in the back seat of Trigg's Lexus
Teardrops and closed caskets
Will I
Forever be alone? (Teardrops and closed caskets)
Teardrops and closed caskets
Will I
Forever be alone? (Teardrops and closed caskets)
Don't let these ghetto streets get you, Precious, was the victim
From a dime to a nickel, hopin' God's blessin's stick with ya
Picture the neighborhood kingpin, who's gettin' bigger?
Familiar face, but a man now, it's Lil' Trigga
Now Lil' Mo was a soldier to the fullest
Down for his homies, always the first to spit bullets
All he wanted was to be a thug, never pictured his truest
Homeboy would fall in love, here's where it gets ya
Now Precious is pregnant, Lil' Trigga is happy
He wants to marry her now, not knowin' he ain't the daddy
But Precious was lonely, while Lil' Trigga was makin' dough
She's slippin' in secret places and gettin' with Lil' Mo
The neighborhood's buzzin', now people are talkin'
Lil' Trigga's gettin' pictures of the both of 'em walkin'
Hand in hand, couldn't understand how his baby's mama
Could disappear with another man, and his best friend
Now jealousy's dangerous, and if you don't believe me
Then watch the way that this story ends and maybe you'll see
There ain't no heroes or villains, ain't no pleasure in killin'
Just the smoke from the cap peelin', a man with no feelin's
Teardrops and closed caskets
Will I
Forever be alone? (Teardrops and closed caskets)
A man with no feelin' and closed caskets
Will I
Forever be alone? (Teardrops and closed caskets)
Now with the problems of poverty and the tricks to these tales
How many people'll die? How many'll live to tell?
Although best friends before, Lil' Trigga and Mo
They in an all out war over a fiend they ain't know
Behind the curtains, their privacy lust is already laid down
The results is the same with different names and it turns out
Y'all know how it is, same old thing in the same old town
Lil' Trigg's got his nose wide open and this one trick
Ow he's played out
Think it's Lil' Mo was plottin' plans on gettin' bigger
Precious was his way to put his hands on Lil' Trigga
All the while, let's look at Precious
To dumb to see what's goin' down, too doped up to ask questions
Used to be comrades, but now we blast on sight
What could be so bad? God, will we last tonight?
From misdemeanors to felonies, small time to sellin' ki's
I can't believe the shit they tellin' me
They opened fire, three bodies dropped, so call the cops
Precious, Lil' Mo and Trigg
Teardrops and closed caskets
Will I
Forever be alone? (Teardrops and closed caskets)
Will I
Forever be alone? (Teardrops and closed caskets)
Will I
Forever be alone?
Will I
Forever be alone? (Teardrops and closed caskets)
Will I
Forever be alone?
Will I
Forever be alone?
