Not even for a second when he wake up did he ask
if today was gonna be his last
an average day in the middle of a life
terminated by a sharp knife
killing, spilling the liquid blood
as his boyz found him lying face down in the mud
you might say this song is in poor taste
but i must discuss the waste
[chorus i:]
Of lives of friends that i have lost
who pays the price, who pays the cost
can't cry, just anger till the end
it burns inside to lose a friend
Walking thin lines, anything to cop a dime
labelled habitual, a loser three times
just fucking' around, knuckles bloody to the bone
whatever, the future's unknown
unless you believe in predestination of fate
the letter read termination
it was fucked up i couldn't make out his face
through the blod, what a fucking waste
[chorus i]
[chorus ii:]
My friend was there until the end (my friend)
can never be replaced
the pain that i taste (it's over)
what a fucking waste
[chorus i]
Cold blooded murder, suicide, another body laid to rest
untimely demise, homicide, my faith is put to the test
is there a god, sometimes i just can't believe
my friend who is dead was shot and then robbed
something quite hard to conceive
people dying everyday there's got to be a better way
the losses blow my mind away, the stain of blood will always stay
like the memory of a friend who stood with me until the end
the losses blow my mind away, the stain of blood will always stay
[chorus i]
[lead]
It's not for me that i grieve, but for the families left berieved
i question whether life is fair, i wonder if i even care
we think we know what life is worth until they lower us beneath
the earth
mother crying, forever hurt, my face like stone i shavel dirt
[chorus ii]
