Vultures

[Defari] It's just so many things In this life that I can't understand I'll never be able to understand Cause there's no answer for 'em The vultures be out though, know that And they always gon' be out Cause they're savages... His arteries are punctured, they can't save his body He got shot standin' outside the party He was only pickin' up his son, he wasn't parkin' Niggas drove by and let the shotgun bark at him He died the same way as Malcolm and Martin Just tryin' to help people, instead of harm them Mr. Youngblood, I know your soul hear me now I know you sittin' on a throne, I know you hear me now I stood at King Hospital with emotion I'm doin' music now, Pat still coachin' Say hello to John... I always thought That what happened to you was dead wrong It doesn't figure out, it doesn't figure in A good bottle and I still don't understand But that's how life goes, some bigger master plan We'll really never know, until the very end [Hook] The vultures are out, the gun shots fly Loved ones die, loved ones cry The vultures are out, the gun shots fly Loved ones die, loved ones cry The vultures are out, the gun shots fly Loved ones die, loved ones cry The vultures are out, the gun shots fly...

You was so cool, such a beautiful sista Remember 55th in Oakland, all the tree we twist up? They pulled you out the car that night and took off The vultures struck again, another good person lost Me and Scotty G went to the funeral Service was foul, somethin' we wasn't used to We left and got some 40's of Old Gold Went to the park and blew one to celebrate your soul Had to do our own thing, the whole thing was mindblowin' To this day I'm not knowin' why... [Hook] The vultures are out, the gun shots fly Loved ones die, loved ones cry The vultures are out, the gun shots fly Loved ones die, loved ones cry The vultures are out, the gun shots fly Loved ones die, loved ones cry The vultures are out, the gun shots fly... [Defari] We went to school together, he was a good brotha A Double Masters in Education, smooth brotha Down for the youth, really shared his Pop's passion We used to go head up on Sega's Live or Madden He was from New York, but here's the irony They found him dead, here in L.A. County North off the 405, where they found him Damn, my nigga was literally right around me I wish he holla'd, I'd be with him when he pulled over He fell victim to the sins of another vulture Shot in the back of the head My nigga Ennis couldn't believe you was really dead It was on the news, I'm tryin' to call you No answer, no reply, I'm like "Nah dude" This shit can't be, this here's a nightmare But the truth don't lie, and it's right there [Hook] - X 2 The vultures are out, the gun shots fly Loved ones die, loved ones cry The vultures are out, the gun shots fly Loved ones die, loved ones cry The vultures are out, the gun shots fly Loved ones die, loved ones cry The vultures are out, the gun shots fly...
