Key: D minor
Verse 1
F#m
D
Bm
His name was Rasool
F#m
Carmel completed boy from the 22
Rough on the outside
D
Bm
But on the inside he was cool
F#m
Rasool was a king
But also a fool
D
Back on the block again with
Bm
the same crew
F#m
Tariq from the west side
Little John form the avenue
Bm
F#m
Always seen um bout a quarter
Bm
E
to two
F#m
Shaking hands with everybody
Bm
But at the same time sharing the blues
F#m
Bm
And oh how he passed it on
F#m
Shaking hand s till what was in
Bm
his pockets was gone
F#m
He'd be outside in the cold with
Bm
his bubble goose on
F#m
But inside
I knew he wasn't warm
D
Bm
Around 10: 30 on that dreary night
F#m
His bowaz said they were hungry
they were hungry
Wanted to get a bite
D
But they didn't send a runner
Bm
Rasool knew it wasn't right
F#m
But he stayed anyway
to get the chain he liked
Bm
F#m
And oh how the shots
Bm
rang in the streets
F#m
Hitting everybody in
the surrounding vicinity
Bm
Children of the children
F#m
Bm
One young father to be
F#m
And Rasool lay dead in
my north Philly Street
D
At fifteen years old
Bm
It was the first death I'd seen
F#m
D
Bm
But the game ain't designed
F#m
for no kind of winning
Bm
F#m
And oh this is a friend
Bm
of Rasool
F#m
Telling you to think about what you do
Bm
and who you call your crew
F#m
The very choices you make
Bm
May make a Rasool out of you
F#m
Bm
F#m
Now you don't want that do
