A Child Dies in Englewood

[Verse 1:] He's just chilling with his niggas Remembering the days while blowing on a Swisher He holds it down in the memories of these ghosts Of the kids they once were, for the streets is their host Like a party, but this one came as a surprise Five niggas in one Chevy, their intentions are full of pride Cocking back enough force to shake a Jedi These Stormtroopers hit the block, they even passed a red light So surprising, they're rising the heat So they can cook up the beef. Block partying where the losers meet A hundred feet, til this nigga turns into six Five shots, four years, three gone, too young, but only one clip [Hook:] A child dies in Englewood A child dies in Englewood A child dies in Englewood A child dies in Englewood [Verse 2:] In a land that's all black, but only no disciples To lead you out of the shadows, he read the Holy Bible He prayed to God, that his family would have their needs taken- Care of, fair love, plans he's steady making Graduation was only a week away Georgetown was where he intended to play The NBA was his calling, he used to walk with Spaulding He had a son on the way, he's bout to be a father He loved his girl and promised her a ring In a moment, life's about to change everything A group of niggas with malicious intentions Three Smith & Wessons and a Glock on opposite directions Innocent bystanding, he tried to run away Until he seen a child, so he rushed as they started to spray A hundred feet, til this nigga turns into six Five shots, four years, three gone, too young, but only one clip [Hook:] [Verse 3:] She dances and dances, so she can please the masses Honor student, she rised on top of all her classes Anchorwoman was the occupation that she chose In the ghetto she blossoms like a beautiful rose When niggas came her way, she kept moving and raised her nose Cause she could never find a guy that could please her soul Or her brain, or even better yet, support her dreams A virgin to life and reality, it would truly seem She had both of her parents, she's the only child She prayed to God, even with no church in the wild But even God needs his angels when he calls for them I guess that's what happened, because the sun poured She was minding her business, when it all happened A group of niggas got mad, then they started attacking A hundred feet, til this girl turns into six Five shots, four years, three gone, too young, but only one clip [Hook:] All these kids dying in Englewood All these kids dying in Englewood All these kids dying in Englewood All these kids dying in Englewood Do you see them?
