Behind Red Tape
Here we go again
Another brother shot dead in the street
Police say it was drug related
All in all that's what they believe
What about his mother
She's gonna live off her life in pain
See 'cuz that was her only son

Is this what our future brings?

It was a shotgun blast
That’s all we heard
So we paused and no one said a word
Then we saw some people running up the block
So we ran to find that Bobby was shot
Bobby never bothered anyone
What I mean to say is he was cool
What a way to go out in life
Not knowing that the next one’s you

Tragedy:
Running through my head
One minute he was here
And the next he was dead
His mother yelling, "Bobby, please stay awake!"
Then Bobby closed his eyes and died as she cried
Behind Red Tape!

Two years have come and gone
And I still see his mother
But she's got a little baby now
And he reminds me of his brother
But never forgetting the day that Bobby passed
She visits the corner and lights a candle tor everyone to see
Where the graffiti reads "Rest In Peace"

And the shit still runs through my head
One minute he was here and the next he was dead
His mother yelling "Bobby, please stay awake!"
Then Bobby closed his eyes and died as she cried

Behind Red Tape!

Rest In Peace!
