One Friday little Emmitt reached his limit[00:00:41]
School was wack he wasn't with it[00:00:44]
His man told him that he could make some dough[00:00:46]
Deliverin' packages for Mac money Joe[00:00:49]
So he said cool yo I need a hustle[00:00:51]
Yo hook me up plus I need a pistol or[00:00:54]
A 380 a two two or a 25[00:00:57]
I'm gonna get large kid I'm all the way live[00:00:59]
But he was sadly mistaken[00:01:02]
Now he's locked up he's doin' time and he's thinkin'[00:01:04]

One Saturday sweet Renee ran away[00:01:23]
Couldn't take moms yellin' didn't wanna stay[00:01:25]
Her girl told her that she could get quick cash[00:01:28]
Goin' on dates for pimp daddy Nash[00:01:30]
She said well I don't know I gotta meet him[00:01:33]
You say he's fly mmm I gotta see him[00:01:35]
The next thing you know she's out late nights[00:01:38]
Makin' dollars for Nash wearin' her skirts tight[00:01:40]
Now she's a victim of the system[00:01:43]
Man what happened to her dreams and her ambition[00:01:46]

Old Mr Fillmore he owns a grocery store[00:02:14]
It's a small little shop the children call him pop[00:02:17]
But of course he keeps a shotgun[00:02:20]
Just for protection 'cause he's got a little grandson[00:02:22]
On Sunday while he was there cleanin'[00:02:25]
He heard the front door slam a lady screamin'[00:02:27]
He grabbed the shottie and walked out from the back[00:02:30]
All he saw was two kids wearin' black ski masks[00:02:32]
He fired they fired all at the same time[00:02:36]
Now there's a funeral on wednesday a quarter to nine[00:02:38]
