Last Light

Verse One: Yeah, they blocking whole streets Whole city-block with police Yellow-taped off, with no witnesses or possible leads 'round here, it's no mansion or cobblestoned streets ...Response time slow, you know the deal Another nigga dead, another city side-street Neighbors misty-eyed, like 55-deep On a corner and watching it all happen I see, through the eyes of a child, a nigga dead in broad day They said "God must've answered the second call late," They said "it's another soon-to-be never solved case," They said "the wrong time, but never the wrong place" Hook: When the last night You see is the last life You see with the last light That's when you gotta go You see the last light You see in a black night You speed in the fast life But this one you go alone Verse Two: What seems to happen in the night could be the worst of all dreams This the city where they worship false kings But no less, the son of a mother This is the curse of all queens That may eventually bury they young And I heard, his mother scream out A mix of anger and loss Screams and cries echo, she collapsed through it No way could I know She probably pictured him passing with old age Hard to imagine this unimaginable pain And I won't even attempt to put the words to it Her recollection is deeper than life loss Complexion and features say all Another soon-to-be never solved case They say "the wrong time, but never the wrong place," is the case... Hook: When the last night You see is the last life You see with the last light That's when you gotta go You see the last light You see in a black night You speed in the fast life But this one you go alone Verse Three: Through my adolescent eyes Seen the stretcher slide deep in the ambulance Detectives in a second-try to select niggas to question Hoping they can testify in defense Silent treatment, not a single set of eyes seen it Did the wrong, but for the right reasons Cause you don't wanna die like this nigga for opening your mouth And we give nothing but flowers for soured occasions But they know it's repercussions being seen going down to the station Cause somewhere within the crowd these cowards are pacing These police, they won't be out on 24-hour surveillance Another soon-to-be never solved case They say "the wrong time, but never the wrong place"... Hook: When the last night You see is the last life You see with the last light That's when you gotta go You see the last light You see in a black night You speed in the fast life But this one you go alone
