9pm, cold wind, city lights matching my chain
Tired of running
Tired of tumbling
The system chasing me, as I try to escape
But Imma never catch a break
Finally I am awake and I got some bands to make
So I'm going on, so I'm staying strong, tryina get along
I'm living loud, I'm living proud
No doubt in my mind that will stop my grind
I just wanna find my inner me to forgive my enemy
I wanna spread love in the world
Words as my sword
I wanna transform
I got a life now and I got a wife now
I wanna endow her a kid
I know one day it gon make it big
Please listen to me, you almost grown
You can do some on your own
Let me tell you some that might catch you off guard
But that doesn't matter, 'cause we're going on, we're staying strong
Always together, don't care were we going
Grateful for my wife and the two kids in my life
Grateful I am here today, that's something my best friend used to say
Now that he gone, this hits different, on another level
Imma tell his grandson that he was real one
Imma tell him about your strong will
And when it went downhill
He told me to keep going until it gets better
Until I reach the top of the ladder
He was a trendsetter
And then I found him on the front page of the newsletter
I don't know why I wasn't surprised at all
I guess had a funny feeling
Last night standing at the ceiling
I kinda knew something would happen under the moon
But I ain't assume, so soon
It was a Saturday, a cold night
He seemed pretty contrite
He walked down an alley with no street lights
Lost in his own thoughts thinking about Sam and Sally
As he heard some shots, Spinning tires
Always help the ones in need, he aspires
So he doesn't proceed to walk to go talk to the man shot by a gun
As he arrived he saw a young boy at the age of seventeen
No way to leave him there he's just a teen
He made the most fearful mien he had ever seen
He was just staring into nothing, he couldn't say a thing
Someone told me you see yourself bleeding in a third eye view
But still this is something new
Sadly he didn't knew that the kids opps where coming for round two
I guess they thought he was a friend, so he's a opp too
He had no chance to defend
Bullets coming down on him like a rain from hell
He hadn't had the time to yell, to tell
So he fell down, held down by his injuries
Like he was held down all his life by his insecurities
So they died right next to each other
Another flower that will never bloom
Another man separated from his children's room
He will never see your first classroom
He will never meet your future girl, never see your pearl
He will never teach you how to shoot a three
He will never put a bandage on your knee
He will never put you on religion, never tell you 'bout psalm three
I hope in your heart is where he's always gonna be
As he passed, she was pregnant with you
I can't imagine what she's going trough
Imma always be there for your mum as a good friend of the family
For me, you're really like a cousin
Imma have an eye on you dozens of times
So you stay away from crimes
(I'm telling you, please stay away from crimes)
9pm, cold wind, city lights matching my chain
Tired of running
Tired of tumbling
Imma do this because your dad was special, not just for me
I remember back the when we used to wrestle
When we used to fight trough different Pac-Man level
Spending summer nights outside at the lake
We were dreaming although we're awake
Eating our Mom-made cheesecake in our self made cave
That was long before my first heartbreak
This caught me like an earthquake
But your dad was always there to help
I still remember all the late night talks
They we're priceless, we thought out of the box
I guess on every bad ending follows a good beginning
It is you, so keep on winning
Don't listen what the others say about your dad
Don't listen to the others they talking nonsense sometimes
The others said that that's the end of a normal life
The end of the 9 to 5
But I know he tricked the devil
They will open heavens gates to take a pure soul, no gun control,
I heard they spread love trough arrows
I heard they taking the pain away with barrows
And I know for a fact that he waits for you
So you can tell him everything, talk him through
He always knew you wouldn't be a fool
I think the first thing you will hear from him is a
"Now that's my son, look at you"
(Look who you became)
(I watched every single step)
(Shaking of the doubt, the loud voices)
(Rising and never coming down)
(You're never going to drown)
9pm, cold wind, city lights matching my chain
Tired of running
Tired of tumbling
The system chasing me, as I try to escape
But Imma never catch a break
Finally I am awake and I got some bands to make
So I'm going on, so I'm staying strong, tryina get along
I'm living loud, I'm living proud
No doubt in my mind that will stop my grind
I just wanna find my inner me to forgive my enemy
I wanna spread love in the world
Words as my sword
I wanna transform
I got a life now and I got a wife now
I wanna endow her a kid
I know one day it gon make it big
9pm, cold wind, city lights matching my chain
Tired of running
Tired of tumbling
9pm, cold wind, city lights matching my chain
Tired of running
Tired of tumbling
