A tale from the northside

Once upon a time
down in Northside
I was being
held at gunpoint
By a couple of young low lives
Feeling like they were
some badass street soldiers
As they pointed their weapon
at me & my friends

They told us to give them the cash
Or kiss our asses goodbye
with just one gun blast
I have never in my life
been so terrified
I have never felt
this alive

What was their motive? What was their need?
To be willing to take a life
for the fuckin' green
Feeling like they were
some badass street soldiers
As they pointed their weapon
at me & my friends

They told us to give them the cash
Or kiss our asses goodbye
with just one gun blast
I have never in my life
been so terrified
I have never felt
this alive

Staring down the barrel of a gun
My life could of been done x4

What was their motive? What was their need?
To be willing to take a life for the fuckin' green
Never did I think this could happen to me
To be a dead motherfuc*** in the 5-1-3!!!

Never did I think this could happen to me
To be a dead motherfuc*** in the 5-1-3!!! x2
