So let me take you back, to where this story began Little Jody, cousin Cody and their best friend Ben They used to play and pretend, like they had money to spend But in reality a dollar wasn't common for them With daddy locked in the pen, the others gone from the start Family's broken apart, Jody's mother used to beat him Till his skin turned dark, yeah she was bad on that grog Made him sleep in the backyard with both of his dogs That's why he started smoking, feel like his only escape She used to beat him 'cause she only saw his fathers face But he was only a kid, 14 years old Try to keep a warm heart in a world so, cold His cousin Cody didn't have it much better But he was making that cheddar however he could but never Forget where he came from, see he had to be strong 'Cause his mother's getting sick and doesn't have too long And so he had to step up, no relyin' on luck He's robbin' anyone he sees just to make a quick buck Their buddy Ben wasn't known to be calm First person that they thought of when they heard a car alarm He was always in a daze, couple pills up in his palms See, his mother was an addict with a needle in her arm Yeah, the three shared that same struggle Destined for the high life, for gettin' into trouble Letras de cancionesAnd they did, on this particular day Cody thought of an idea with guaranteed pay But the plan to little Jody didn't seem okay But his older cousin Cody just convinced him to stay He told him "This is what will separate the boy from a man" So he carried on and listened to the rest of the plan He said, "Yo, it's really quite simple Run up to the seccy, put that gun up to his temple, right? And me and Ben will take the register, he makes a move you take your shot and show him that you better brah" Okay, and so off they went It was a long, quiet ride with a strong sweaty scent Little Jody was shakin' up in his boots, he thinks if he shoots Then he might just compromise the loot But it's too late for second thoughts They all jump up out the car and just head straight for the doors And Jody cocks his gun, points it straight to the guard Says "If you cooperate then this don't got to be hard" Says "If you wanna go home, simply lay of the floor Don't move until all of us are out of the door" Ben and Cody's got the money everything seems smooth Until he seen that seccy’s arm slowly start to move But Jody can't pull that trigger Instead he takes a bullet wound straight to his liver And it was no surprise, they grabbed the money in a hurry Left him there to die He doesn't wonder why, he just looks up to the sky And smiles in pride, he's happy he can finally die 'Cause he could never do it himself He never thought that a soul would even dare to help And so we pray, that he rest in peace But we're just happy that he finally made it outta the streets From Letras Mania
