Assassination

Verse 1:

Assassination, a bullet to his head

Now the 5-0 gotta explain to his family that he dead

That he was walking down the street and got shot and blood all over

The pavement. He got robbed for his new 11's

People said they heard lots of screaming and yelling'

Then the argument got too aggressive and they pulled out the pistol

and then he turned into Lennon. They learned you only get 1 life

There ain't no substitution and all they see on the news is about

a shooting. When they asked how they felt they kept refusing

But they knew soon that, God will make the pain go away

they gave him a grave next to the highway

But then on the 12th day there was another shooting

They called it a double play

To them the skies look grey

The Docs needed to do an X-Ray

While they were there they got some food on their

Cafeteria trey but in someway they had to maintain

They knew tomorrow was a new day

But their Grandpa was putting cigs in the ash trey

Months went along the youngest one got caught in a tag along

His dogs were selling drugs from Hong Kong

Even after he got caught he still carried on

Living the life that his daddy never wanted

selling drugs and using them to stay blunted

(and using them to stay blunted)

Hook: (singing)

Assassination

Look what it could do to a nation

It can change somebody's determination

It can leave people grieving

It can stop someone for believing

that there's a way to stop the bleeding

Verse 2:

Every morning he'd wake up to see an old pair of sneakers on the

telephone wires. And would thank God he was a survivor.

He'd see drugs in the hands of minors and see people in their

wife beaters being the supplier. He was the only that didn't own a lighter

He was the family provider. His little girl would cry because of the

violence. And to be honest it was frightening. And it seemed like everyday

9-1-1 was the number they were always dialing. And the violence started

to Spiral. So much the whole hood own a bible. Every week it was the

same cycle they would wait for the ambulance to pick up the body. Then

they would find someone with an UZI they knocked the door down to his

house and asked who's he. They found him in his cadillac with a gun

then he opened the door on the other side and started to run

the 5-0 shot him on his back, and blood started to pour from his cap

The cops said let this be a lesson. Even months later the whole hood

still couldn't get back to repression. His whole family went into a deep

depression. And let's not forget to mention. How his son kept getting in

detention. But soon he realized his dad was looking down at him in

heaven. And when we would wash the dishes, he would see his father's

reflection. That moment would change the direction. Soon they thought it

would be okay

Rest in peace JFK

That fatal day was doomsday

even though it happened more than 50 years ago

we still remember his name
