Lyrics

Hey what's the matter with the homies
Why's it got to be this way
Seen some shit up on the news
That made me trip the other day
Some vatos pulled a halle
But they shot a baby twice
Five years old these vatos took her life
They say one of the vatos there was 17 years old
The other one was 16 on juvenile parole
The 17 year old was Alonso Padilla
He had a little brother and a little carnalilla
I guess Alonso seen a hater walking in his barrio
And he's the one that started shooting at the vato
And when it happened it was probably 3 o'clock
The perfect time when little kids are playing on the block
Alonso had a Glock he let off 11 shots
He lived on the same block the little girl dropped
And later when they verified the name of the murilla
Elisabeth Padilla this little carnalilla
This world is falling and stalling I'm losing my breath
It's like a time bomb and nothing can defuse it but death
We put ourselves in situations that we seem to regret
Reality check what you last expect
This world is falling and stalling I'm losing my breath
It's like a time bomb and nothing can defuse it but death
We put ourselves in situations that we seem to regret
Reality check what you last expect
March 29 of 2004 at the Mendoza residence
Behind the bedroom door
A little youngster homie playing with the strap
Showed it to his little sister then he thought he'd cock it back
Innocent to the fact too young to know how to act
Like most kids his age would react with a brand new strap
Unfortunately what went down was unexpected
But he was only playing around
Heard the sound accidentally shot a round
His little sister Erica died before she hit the ground
He was 15 his little sister was 14
The youngest little brother was 8 he saw the whole thing
And wishing it was just a dream
And everybody could wake up and forget about this whole thing
And I'm just hoping that the youngsters that are listening
Can make an example out this whole thing
This world is falling and stalling I'm losing my breath
It's like a time bomb and nothing can defuse it but death
We put ourselves in situations that we seem to regret
Reality check what you last expect
This world is falling and stalling I'm losing my breath
It's like a time bomb and nothing can defuse it but death
We put ourselves in situations that we seem to regret
Reality check what you last expect
Dedicated to Erica Mendoza
Rest in peace
Elisabeth Padilla
