What Goes Up

"Somebody please, give me just a minute To explain, my misery" "What goes up, must come down" - Lords Of The Underground "Somebody please" [Verse]: December 31, 11:59 On the roof counting down looking at the city shine In his mind is that lifestyle he’s leaving behind We ain’t gotta talk about it, you can read between the lines But he got a job hope it pays, whole squad smoke haze Blowing smoke, joking, reminiscing of the older days It’s New Years Eve believing that the seasons For whatever reasons cleans our sins and cast out the demons Soon as 12 hits, he pulls a single bullet Kisses the tip and says this is the last time he’ll pull it Let it slip into the chamber, stops, says a little prayer Aims it at the sky, shoots it up into the air As the bullet gains velocity and rockets to the heavens Traveling a few miles in just a few seconds He feels better, real better like a weight was lifted He escaped a wicked world and let the bullet take it with it But what goes up…must come down And all the way across town falling to the ground That little piece of metal found a real familiar face Home boys girlfriend, wrong time, wrong place Out partying with friends in a line at a club Stood right beneath the path of an earth bound slug And a it’s really very odd or a plan from God But the bullet struck her head like a lightening rod Bad news travels fast, cell phones maker it faster He’s girls bestfriend called depicting the disaster Immediately it clicked, the bullet from his clip Just blew the love of his life's brains to bits Must be calm, before all of the negative drama Ironic, made him vomit on the front of his bomber And said it was the last time but really thought it through The guns got one more job to do
