Lyrics
**CHORUS**
why must i always hear gunshots through sirens, if i ended this now, it would all be silenced//
people with guns actin like they tyrants, and in the end their family's the only one cryin//
**CHORUS**
i walked out my house to go to the store, cuz we had no bread and mom said we needed some more//
got my nine on my belt, cuz thats how the streets are, playing games tryin not to end up in a police car//
got what i needed, gave the guy my money, saw a guy outside and he was lookin at me funny//
i kept the nine cocked cuz toward me walked, my heart's on lock and im real scared i might get popped//
he approached me and said hey whats goin on playa, this guy looked like a mother-fuckin hardcore playa-hata//
i didnt say nothin stared him right in the eyes, cuz the streets are too tough for you to start gettin wise//
he asked me a question with a dangerous look, i figure i should answer before i get my life took//
'if you gotta problem just come out n say it', what if i took my 9 out and started to spray it//
not a good idea with the owner in sight, i decided the best way would be a fist fight//
i stopped listenin to all of his bullshit, instead i backed away and put up both of my fists//
the first punch i threw hit him right in the jaw, it left my knuckles sore, bloody and raw//
**CHORUS**
why must i always hear gunshots through sirens, if i ended this now, it would all be silenced//
people with guns actin like they tyrants, and in the end their family's the only one cryin//
**CHORUS**
i dropped that hata like a ton of bricks, thats when he realized he just got his mouth split//
he got up and reached into his pocket, thats about when he knew he forgot it//
he said bitch im gonna fight ya again, crew on crew tomorrow ill see ya then//
the next day our crews met face to face, in my mind i saw blood all over this place//
all i heard right now was a lotta shit talkin, this was crew business and no one was walkin//
both standing they ground until about nightfall, thats when i knew that one of my mine might-fall//
i looked and i saw, the guy with a busted jaw, and i know all he saw, was my fuckin left paw//
comin at him before he got dropped, i knew now that this shit had to be stopped//
i knew somethin bad was about to happen, and thats when i heard it, one gun cappin//
i felt the burn of hot lead in my chest, my whole crew asked how to avenge my death//
i told em no more fightin itd be for the best, and to throw they guns on my grave when i lay to rest//
**CHORUS**
why must i always hear gunshots through sirens, if i ended this now, it would all be silenced//
people with guns actin like they tyrants, and in the end their family's the only one cryin//
**CHORUS**
nyce da emcee, peace
