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