| two years and extra days, a block away he’d head to hang
 | 
| same corner, neighborhood, his friends, the gang
 | 
| two years and extra days, a bigger kid would crack his eye
 | 
| no real reason, explanation and everyday no one knew why
 | 
| the bigger kid was crazy, that made the gang afraid
 | 
| when he told the gang to shut their mouths, the gang obeyed
 | 
| you’ve got to have a place to be, you need a place to hang around
 | 
| no one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound
 | 
| both his eyes would twitch
 | 
| the left one was always black
 | 
| his lips they never moved
 | 
| they stayed still with each attack
 | 
| his ears were always ringing,
 | 
| in his head he’d hear a hum
 | 
| and all the kids on the corner
 | 
| knew what it was from
 | 
| well then one day it happened, he took his daily crack
 | 
| his eyes rolled up, like yesterday, he started falling back
 | 
| the kids that watch this everyday, now watched him hit the ground
 | 
| no one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound
 | 
| and no one made a sound
 | 
| both his eyes would twitch
 | 
| the left one was always black
 | 
| his lips they never moved
 | 
| they stayed still with each
 | 
| attack his ears were always ringing,
 | 
| in his head he’d hear a hum
 | 
| and all the kids on the corner
 | 
| knew what it was from
 | 
| no one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound
 | 
| a sad silent situation, now he’s not around
 | 
| no one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound
 | 
| a sad silent situation, now he’s not around
 | 
| well no one spoke and no one moved and no one made a sound
 | 
| a sad silent situation he’s not a-he's not around
 | 
| noone spoke noone moved he’s not around
 | 
| a sad silent situation now he’s not around |
