Dopefiend's Diner [#]
Late night coolin' with my homiesDrinkin' Hennessey an' cold brewAfter smokin' stopped in OaklandGot the munchies for some soul foodSo we stopped to get a bite to eatAt the local barbecueIt's just another borin' MondayAn' there's nothin' else to doNow as we stepped out of the carI heard someone behind me fightin'So I turned to look and find outWhat's the cause of this excitementOne brother was a dopefiendAnd the other was a dopemanAnd the dopeman had a AKSaid he'll spray an' he's not jokin'Well, it seems to be the dopefiendOwed the dopeman for his productLetras de cancionesAnd he swore if he did not payHe would end up gettin' shot upNow I could not walk away'Cause I got caught up in the sceneWonderin' what would happenTo this poor and helpless fiendWell, my homie Michael CooleySaid let's go and make our orderWhat's the use in watchin' two menStand out here fight over quartersWell, I walked inside the dinerAnd all the dopefiends waved to meHeard the sound of several gunshotsAnd I ran outside to see(What's goin' on?)Another gunshot rings(What's goin' on?)Another siren rings(What's goin' on?)Another mother cries(What's goin' on?)'Cause another innocent dies(What's goin' on?)(What's goin' on?)Another gunshot rings(What's goin' on?)Another siren rings(What's goin' on?)Another mother cries(What's goin' on?)'Cause another innocent dies(What's goin' on?)All the people in the dinerRan outside to see the big showIt was just another partyFor them to see just who they would knowBut for me I held concernI wanted to go see the outcomeWould a mother have a son tonightOr would she live her life without one?I made it to the streetsI almost cried right on the spotNot only had the fiend diedBut a small girl had been shotMy heart could take no moreI felt a tear roll down my faceThat was daddy's bulletBut she took it in his place(What's goin' on?)Another gunshot rings(What's goin' on?)Another siren rings(What's goin' on?)Another mother cries(What's goin' on?)'Cause another innocent dies(What's goin' on?)(What's goin' on?)Another gunshot rings(What's goin' on?)Another siren rings(What's goin' on?)Another mother cries(What's goin' on?)'Cause another innocent dies(What's goin' on?)Tried to make way through the crowdSo I could go help the babyShe could barely speak but she whispered"Mister, can you please save me?"So I screamed out, "Someone help me"But I don't think they could hearAnd if they did they didn't careOh, how I hated everyone thereThe baby lie here dyin'And I wondered what could I doThe cameraman and newspapersHad come to get their interviewsTo them it's just storyAnd they can't see the tragedyTo them it doesn't matter'Cause hey, it wasn't their familyI don't think I'll be back'Cause it'll never be the same hereSo I wipe away the tearsAnd leave the scene the way I came hereThough some people say it's crazyAnd the food could have been finerI'll never forgetNever forget the night at Dopefiend's Diner(What's goin' on?)Another gunshot rings(What's goin' on?)Another siren rings(What's goin' on?)Another mother cries(What's goin' on?)'Cause another innocent dies(What's goin' on?)(What's goin' on?)Another gunshot rings(What's goin' on?)Another siren rings(What's goin' on?)Another mother cries(What's goin' on?)'Cause another innocent dies(What's goin' on?)
