Artist: Makeba Mooncycle Album: Throwback Classics Song: Why Typed by: Cno Evil [Makeba Mooncycle] Just an average day in the neighborhood, some bad, some good The race to see who live another day Who went get locked up or sprayed, laid in the grave Now since it's my neighborhood, I'mma call him Jay Used to bounce around like a bad boy who play Known as the totting weed smoking, black Jesus don't provoke him Rest out in the Desert, sometimes hit Medina Death was on his trail, though you should of seen her Underneath the covers, they became lovers Momma saw dreams of a tomb So she looked around his room, the truth was uncovered Frustration of a mother; Where'd you get that piece? You making me scared, stay home tonight I don't want you out there, but life was a party Never thought of what he did, or reminisce On the life that he lived, you better watch your back Now here comes karma, cuz from here on Your life's full of drama [Chorus: Makeba Mooncycle] Can you hear a cry? Seeing her son die Nobody know's why Tell me, can you hear a cry? [Makeba Mooncycle] In that same neighborhood, living down the street Lived a young couple, baby made complete Poverty to paradise, paradise to poverty Stick it out together, stand right beside me No one should test him, quick to get upset and then dead him Trying to make things better for his girl and his seed Let's make this cheddar, you follow, I lead Now things get too hectic, put your boot to the ground And treck it, but kid jumped out, from having second doubts Your man is assed out, when the shots rang out She took a look at her son But no, not another one, back at the scene again Cops called a hooligan, must of been a rub He's just another thug, mark it, case closed Casket under rose, didn't believe it was true When the boy broke the news, felt like a dream Dead on the scene, I won't forget the past Cuz my son is the aftermath [Chorus II: Makeba Mooncycle] She said momma don't know why Your daddy had to die Nobody know's why But baby's gonna be alright [Makeba Mooncycle] Stayed in the streets and cut school Him and his old E lived on York Avenue, since he was the youngest The only one there, so full of anger So full of fear, he had to make some loot He wanted to escape, his mom was bit by a poisonous snake The pipe was a guy, she pushed him aside No here's the deal, his heart's hard of steel Cuz there's nothing too real when you're taught not to feel Another motherless child gon' wild, now he's getting riches Stacking his cash, your moms still hitting and she steals your stash Walks in the house, crack in the kitchen Moms doped up and his stash is missing Could this be a dream, he screams Ma, you a fiend, but she didn't care Looking out the window, like nobody's there [Chorus III: Makeba Mooncyle] Seen the pain in his eyes Watching his momma die Nobody's know's why Nobody's know's why [Outro: Makeba Mooncycle] The moral of the story is Everything happen's for a reason You can't ask yourself why Just learn from it
