Not even for a second when he wake up did he ask   If today was gonna be his last   An average day in the middle of a life   Terminated by a sharp knife   Killing, spilling the liquid blood   As his boyz found him lying face down in the mud   You might say this song is in poor taste   But I must discuss the waste      [Chorus I:]      Of lives of friends that I have lost   Who pays the price, who pays the cost   Can't cry, just anger till the end   It burns inside to lose a friend      Walking thin lines, anything to cop a dime   Labelled habitual, a loser three times   Just fucking' around, knuckles bloody to the bone   Whatever, the future's unknown   Unless you believe in predestination of fate   The letter read termination   It was fucked up I couldn't make out his face   Through the blod, what a fucking waste      [Chorus I]      [Chorus II:]      My friend was there until the end (my friend)   Can never be replaced   The pain that I taste (It's over)   What a fucking waste      [Chorus I]      Cold blooded murder, suicide, another body laid to rest   Untimely demise, homicide, my faith is put to the test   Is there a god, sometimes I just can't believe   My friend who is dead was shot and then robbed   Something quite hard to conceive   People dying everyday there's got to be a better way   The losses blow my mind away, the stain of blood will always stay   Like the memory of a friend who stood with me until the end   The losses blow my mind away, the stain of blood will always stay      [Chorus I]      It's not for me that I grieve, but for the families left berieved   I question whether life is fair, I wonder if I even care   We think we know what life is worth until they lower us beneath   the earth   Mother crying, forever hurt, my face like stone I shavel dirt      [Chorus II]
