Wasn’t looking for her, don’t think she was looking for me

Guess we both have a passion for royalty

Maybe its loyalty



Has us crossing paths

Found myself getting chill bumps every time she laugh



Or crack a smile

I’m just a revolutionary who hasn’t felt love in a while

I dig her style



I dig her grace

I’m on the book steady looking at pictures of her beautiful face

I want to get her in my space



Seem like it will never happen

She live with a dude who is known for gun clapping

All day and night trapping



I just back away, deal with real life

Just heard the other day, that this dude got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife



Don’t want to sound like a hater but she can do better

Last time he got booked, she told me it was the coldest winter ever

He never returned her letters

Never called home, even though at trial he whispered he would never forget her



2 years passed



He came home and promised her he would never get locked back up

One week later he back ripping the block up

Got his rocks up



Started rolling with his old crew

3:00 AM she calling me asking what should she do

I’m tired of him running the streets and leaving me home like its cool



Might sound harsh



You made the bed that you lay in

She has no job, no family he takes care of me plus he pay rent

She tired of crying and praying



We sat on the phone for a moment quietly

You could hear him come in, his voice growing violently



Didn’t want to hang up, couldn’t let myself

Next morning I found out he strangled her to death

I could never feel the pain that she felt

Sad part about it, only me and him heard her take her last breath

Now I’m standing at her casket trying to fight back my tears

I should’ve done something about the pain she endured

Throughout our friendship years



You can’t make a woman leave a man she loves

If I could we wouldn’t be here releasing doves



Now I know when Prince says doves cry

Having nightmares of her gasping for air, wake up and tears fly



He left the scene now her case cold

She died at only 27 years old

No family was told



She had no next of kin

God forgive me for my pin



For it know not what it do

Just trying to display truth

Amongst the youth



That the street game last only a few seconds……



….I just hope somebody out there get the message
