(E minor) (A minor) (E minor) (A minor)
(E minor) (A minor)
Verse 1
(E minor) He
was four (A minor) teen years old
(E minor) All his life he never left
The (A minor) west side (oh)
I walked (E major) past him everyday (E minor)
(A minor) Heading downtown
Always on the go
He was the (E major) kind of (A minor) guy you
never gave your real name to
So young but still trying to (E minor) game you
But what he was (A minor) going through

Verse 2
I never knew
(E minor) It's such a same
(A minor) How people change
And I never really knew his name
(E minor) But it takes more (A minor) than two
to raise a youth
And for that we all did lose (E minor)
(A minor) Because if one of us had noticed you
How I wish I was (E minor) there for (A minor) you
Verse 3
I was busy filling my own shoes
(E minor) All his (A minor) life
He heard "You won't
amount to nothing"
Low expectations
In (E major) need of (E minor) money
Few too many choices
(A minor) And no patience
So (E minor) what do you know (A minor)
For a good cash flow
You can (E minor) always sell
It's (A minor) easy to fit the role
But when your (E minor) living the fast life
He considered (A minor) all times a go
Verse 4
(E minor) It's such a same
(A minor) How people change
And I never really knew his name
(E minor) But it (A minor) takes more than two
to raise a youth
And for that we all did lose (E minor)
(A minor) Because if one of us had noticed you
How I wish I was (E minor) there for (A minor) you
I was busy filling my own shoes
Verse 5
Is (E minor) that how he came around (A minor)
For his child he'll know now
'Cause he left him with (E minor) bruises
(A minor) His words just abusive
The love he didn't show
And (E minor) what his boy was (A minor) going through
He had never imagined
But when love turns (E minor) to hate
It's the worse out of (A minor) passion
His son was bold
And by (E major) then it was too late (E minor)
From his (A minor) friend they get console
(E minor) Then his hands, his shoes
The life or (A minor) death they couldn't hold
Oh, (E minor) (A minor) (E minor) (A minor) two seconds cold
He was (E major) fourteen years (E minor) old
(A minor) Locked up until he's old
Verse 6
(E major) It's such a (E minor) same
(A minor) How moments change
And I never really knew his name
(E major) But it (A minor) takes more than two
to raise a youth
And for that we all did (E major) lose (E minor)
(A minor) Because if one of us had noticed you
(E minor) (A minor) (E minor) (A minor)
(E major) (E minor) (A minor)
(E minor) How (E major) (E minor) (A minor) (E major) I wish
I was there for (E minor) you
(A minor) I was busy filling my own shoes
