I was born in chicago
1971
i was born in chicago 1970
what my father told me,
"son, you'd better get a gun."
my first friend went down when i was 16 years old
oh my first friend went down
when i was 16 years old
there's one thing i can say about that boy
he gotta go
my second friend went down
when i was 17 years of age
oh my second friend went down
when i was 17 years of age
there's one thing i can say about that boy
he gotta pray
oh life is a lie
if you don't know how to play the game
oh life is a lie
if you don't know how to play the game
all my friends are going
and everything's gonna stay the same
