Bm
Em
just like that somebody else dies,
but you have a number

How many times do you think
Before the knock at the door
comes and you recognize it
Looking you straight in the eyes

A street soldier checking in, it's life
That's the way a street soldier lives
But I don't want to go out like

On the block that I grew up on,

if you was living, you was in, man.
It's hard to keep up with all

the names.
Another victim.

When you first started slinging that dope
doing it for the money.

I remember you man,
when you weighed about 210,
