Ya im only 15 But you woouldnt believe the shit i done and seen I joined a gang at 12 I thought my life would change, and it did It turned to Hell! It's funny when you think about a 12 year old doin a drivebye Its even funnier when ur homeboy gets shot And u leave him there to die You think your big and bad when you hold a gun But what would you think if the next day u had a son? It was always easy to pull a little trigger Especially when someone pissed me off or called me a wigger You get jumped in and jumped out Thats what alot of gangs are all about You the shit beat outta you And then they think your coo You never wore the wrong color in my hood Cause on my ground is ALWAYS where i stood Im 4'11 90lbs but i could always take a good hit YA know y? Cause i was always down for my shit Just before i turned 13 I walked up onto a wrong kinda scene I walked out to the back of a field Where my homies always got drunk and high I never knew thats where I would watch them die A rival gang killed 3 of my homies with a simple BANG BANG.. BANG! All my homies are dead Juss layin there with bullets in their head So behind the big rocks i hid, and wondered What should i tell Mr. Dreamer's kid? All my members shot and killed Thats the day i felt scared and weak I could no longer call myself lil' MEEK I joined a different gang Ya i got my ass beat But i got whatever i wanted Ya it was pretty sweet I got back on my feet Just a few more homies 6 feet deep They lay in their coffins to eternally sleep gangs in and out Thats what my life was all about No one ever knew about my real life I didnt want to cause them that strife No one ever knew They didnt have a clue I never told no one, not even my mom Cause i was for sure..soon id be gone Most of my homies shot and killed, others ODed and died some just decided suicide Im only 15 But you wouldnt believe the shit i done and seen All this happend at the age of 12 and 13 At age 14 i had finally realized what i had done and become I thought about everyone i knew who had died... All the times i lied I couldnt do shit so i just sat and cried But one day someone walked into my life Im no longer affiliated with gangs And up to my head in strife She shook my hand and said "hi im marlene" I looked up to her and said "hi im jolene" She came into my life and everything seemed better I'll love her FOREVER and NEVER forget her Shes my best friend now As long as i have her i know i'll never be alone no way, no how
