I think it was a Friday on a cold moonless night
Little did I know that for my life I would fight
It seemed like any other day as I sat up at home
Finally decided to put on some cloths
I called my girl tonight I'm gonna be with the homies
"Please don't go" is what she told me
I don't wanna hear that, don't even trip
You know I'm the craziest and I never slip
So I walked out the door to meet with my people
Friends that I trust forever, and forever they trust me
They needed me, so I road with them
And concealed a lil' something with me
Always on my toes in case the enemies creep
Then I heard the cracks of a pistol as I bled
I felt pain on my side and my shirt was painted red
I felt my life leave as my homies panicked
Looking down at me yelling for me just to fight it
I couldn't, but I tried to hide it
----------------------------------------------------------
[Chorus: repeat 2X]
If I had a chance to rewind the hands of time
Stay by your side.
Keep on ridin' and never die
I would, but now I have to live with the pain...
The pain that never goes away
The pain that always stays
----------------------------------------------------------
Paramedics all around me So I asked for their help
They didn't seem to hear me it's like nothing I ever felt
They yelled for everyone to get back as they shocked me
My body jumped as I laid on the concrete
I could hear my homies screaming for revenge
But now I feel so alone no matter if I got a million friends
They can't help, I want to scream out loud
But no matter how hard I try no sound comes out
Where you taking me as they put a sheet over my face
Don't leave me overnight in this horrible place
I wanna go home
Oh god, my mom, my dad, my bro, my sista's... all of them
How will they take it, let me out, please they need me
Don't let my family leave me
I can't handle this hurt it's ripping me inside
All just because I had to ride with too much pride
----------------------------------------------------------
[Chorus: repeat 2X]
If I had a chance to rewind the hands of time
Stay by your side.
Keep on ridin' and never die
I would, but now I have to live with the pain...
The pain that never goes away
The pain that always stays
-----------------------------------------------------------
The next day my father came to see me
I saw the pain in his eyes as he looked at me
Dad, I'm here I'm sorry for the way I died
he just looked up and began to cry
and then he left, and I cried out "Please don't go"
It's like a dream where everything moves so slow
Now I'm in a coffin as my family walks to see me
I can't do this, I cry for someone to free me
My homies come up and whisper that they got revenge
They tell my family that they lost a true friend
My mom cries up to god as she holds my hand
Shaking her head like she don't understand
As they lower me in the dirt my family screams with tears
Not seeing them again is my worst fear
I can't take it, I yell back, please let me out
As they put the dirt on my silent shouts
----------------------------------------------------------
[Chorus: repeat 2X]
If I had a chance to rewind the hands of time
Stay by your side.
Keep on ridin' and never die
I would, but now I have to live with the pain
The pain that never goes away
The pain that always stays
