Live By The Gun (please read this)

by Ryan de Rossi - Aquarius

He lived by the gun
He died by the gun
He left before his time

I remember that night like it was yesterday.
Shots rang out through the streets,
Screams of sheer horror followed.
He lived his life as a Thug.

His mother wants her baby back.
She ran down the street towards the dead body,
I heard her scream.
The ambulance arrived and declared him dead.

His baby brother hugged his mother,
Repeatedly saying things 2 calm her,
While in his heart he was crying.
I knew I had lost a friend.

Now I stand in front of his grave,
Saying my proper Good-Bye's.
I shed tearz still,
Holding the gun that took his life.

He lived by the gun
He died by the gun
He left before his time
He was livin' a Thug's life
And he payed 4 it
