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