  One Friday, little Emmitt reached his limit
  School was wack, he wasn't with it
  His man told him, that he could make some dough
  Deliverin packages, for Mac Money Joe
  so he said, "Cool.. yo I need a hustle
  Yo hook me up, plus I need a pistol or
  a .380, a two-two or a .25
  I'm gonna get large kid, I'm all the way live"
  But he was sadly mistaken
  Now he's locked up, he's doin time and he's thinkin

  One Saturday, sweet Renee ran away
  Couldn't take moms yellin, didn't wanna stay
  Her girl told her, that she could get quick cash
  Goin on dates, for Pimp Daddy Nash
  She said, "Well I don't know, I gotta meet him
  You say he's fly, mmm? I gotta see him"
  The next thing you know she's out late nights
  Makin dollars for Nash, wearin her skirts tight
  Now she's a victim of the system
  Man what happened to her dreams, and her ambition?

  Old Mr. Fillmore, he owns a grocery store
  It's a small little shop, the children call him Pop
  But of course he keeps a shotgun
  just for protection, cause he's got a little grandson
  On Sunday, while he was there cleanin
  He heard the front door slam, a lady screamin
  He grabbed the shottie and walked out from the back
  All he saw was two kids, wearin black ski masks
  He fired, they fired, all at the same time
  Now there's a funeral on Wednesay, a quarter to nine
