Ross Capicchioni lyrics

[Verse 1]

Woke up at 7, my day seemed more than I prayed for

Got dressed to head out and ride to school on my skateboard

New kid in class I sat alone takin' notes while the hoodlums were makin' jokes at the clothes that my momma paid for

Seemed like everyone was a part of some gang invasion

Tattoos, the initiation, parolers I’m on probation

Soakin up the vibe as I study for information

Cause lately I been deprived of a normal day

But today, on my way to eat lunch, some kid approached

He told me “we should be cool” if only he got to know me

Cause on this side of town I would need some protection

It’s crazy, reckless and dangerous

Unless I’m some sort of gangster, I’m only safe with the police

He said his name was

I dapped him up at the busses

I was kinda skept' about him at first cause I didn’t trust him

The more I got to know him, I couldn’t tell what his motives were

Hopin' that he was sincere, somethin told me “let go”

But the only thing on my mind was patience

Searchin' twice for a different life, I was tired of waitin'

Cause me and [blank] had similar views and conversations and feuds with knowledge

Mainly 'bout school and college, that was my true, but regardless

He was type cool when I was wit him

Introduce him to my family, they were rockin' wit' him

My momma told him, “Make sure you look out for my son”

And before she could finish her sentence, he quickly just interjected and said, “Don’t you even stress it, I got it under control.”

It’s been two months since we met, it seemed like we’d gotten close

Some cat approached me and tried to beef wit' me, I just froze

Then I see [Blank] pounded and stompin homie without his cloak

Called me his brother and told me he got me to the fullest

Even if that mean bullets, bullies, gangs, AKs and choppas ‘till they kill us

That’s the realest shit I ever witnessed

A few weeks later, my uncle sold me a Honda Civic

A ’93 with no license plates or registration

Just thinkin' about every place that I’ma go when I finally get it

And then he asked me for a ride around the block some distance from where I was parkin

And instantly I knew the spot was sketchy, my momma would kill me

My intuition told me not to, I knew it was wild

And plus I knew I had no business or place on that side of town

And I read about some chick that went lurkin' without a sound and got murked

Her body found in that dirt, with a thousand rounds

It was worse than abandoned buildins of bandits, villians, and scammers

Killers provokin' gangsters, but maybe I’m overthinkin'

Maybe I might be straight just as long as I pump the brakes

And try not to think about it just trust I’ll be fuckin' safe

And then I told him, “Let’s go, hop in.”

He dapped me up, he started tellin' jokes the whole ride there

Had me crackin' up

As we were gettin closer, I felt funny, my stomach turned

Then he told me, “Go left, make another turn, go right, and drive slow”

As I look, it was all abandoned and quiet, not a single person in sight, nobody standin

And right when I pulled the car to the side

He said, “Right here, sit still. Turn the car off and chill.”

That’s when I start to panic he told me, “Relax.”

Then he pulled the keys out the ignition and hopped out and laughed

Then my life flashed in an instant

He inched to my driver door then I tried to lock it, I couldn’t

Ripped me right outta my seat and then grabbed the side of his jeans and then

Pulled out the shotty and all I heard was a screech and he shot my arm into pieces

I’m thinkin' I must be dreamin’, another shot to my chest

And my stomach’s squeezin', my breath or my lungs collapsin

I’m down on my fuckin knees askin' him, “Why?”

He looked at me, I looked him dead in the eyes

And he smashed my face with the barrel

And I throw my teeth to the sky and then uh

I heard a *cocks shotgun* sound of the shotty cock back

He pressed it hard against my head and blew my fuckin top back

I’m still conscience, I’m breathin'

I’m still movin', no clue as to why I’m not dead

All this blood that I’m losin' and I heard my car drive off

And I looked up and saw the sun and that was all that I saw

Then I heard my conscience tell me, “Get up nigga get up! You’re losin' blood, oh my! Don’t fall asleep or you’ll die! Stay awake and move as much as possible, there’s no time! Find some help or try to yell, you ain’t too well, oh God! Wake up, nigga! Wake up! Wake up, nigga! Wake up…”

[Verse 2]

Woke up at 7, my day was worse than I prayed for

Got dressed, then head out, down the stairs from the eighth floor

New kid in class, he sat alone, takin' notes while my niggas were makin' jokes

At the clothes that his mama paid for

Had no family, but was cool with the local gangstas

Tattoos, and now I’m on parole and probation for breakin' rules

That life was all I knew, all I wanted was to do was cruise

Smoke weed and say, “Fuck school”

Wanted guidance cause all my role models I would look up to

Was indicted a young dude with no logic

I went to church and till the pastor said, “Fuck you.”

Now I’m violent and this game that always looked out for me

Vouched for me and adopted me said they wanted to rock wit me

And I wanted to get down, guess somethin' was missin'

Everything comes with a price, “There’s only one condition:

All you gotta do for initiation is kill an innocent victim and leave em there with no witnesses or no snitches

If you do that, you’d be down with the clique and that’s for life so don’t you ever think you getting outta this shit"

And I thought about it

Soakin' up the vibe as I study for information, tryna choose my victim, plottin' the weakest prey

But today on my way to eat lunch, I approached him

And told him we should be cool, if only I got to know him

Cause on this side of town, he would need some protection

It’s crazy reckless or phony unless he some type of gangster and he only stayed with the police

He said his name was [Ross Capicchioni] and I dapped him up at the busses

Was kind of skept' about me at first cause he didn’t trust me

Then the more he got to know me, he couldn’t tell what my motives were

Hopin’ that I was sincere, but little did he know I was tryna snake him and pop a brick

Just need the perfect opportunity, I’m tired of waitin’

A murder runnin’ through my head, I knew that death was comin’

He introduced me to his family, I was jealous of him

His momma told me “Make sure you look out for my son-“

And before she could finish her sentence I quickly just interjected and said

“Don’t you even stress it. I got him to the fullest, even if that means bullets, bullies, gangs, AKs and choppas till they kill us.”

I was lyin to the fuckin’ limits

Took advantage when he said he had that Honda Civic

A ’93 with no license plates and no registration

Just thinkin’ about every place I’ma go when I finally kill him

And then I asked him for a ride around the block, some distance from where he was parked

And instantly I knew my chance was comin’, I’m ready to drill him

Then he told me, “Let’s go, hop in.”

I dapped him up and started tellin jokes the whole ride there

Had him crackin up

As we were gettin’ closer, he felt funny

I think he knew somethin’ was comin’, that look he had was enough to tell me

But fuck it, go right and drive slow

As he looked, it was all abandoned and quiet

Not a single person in sight and nobody standin

And right when he pulled the car to the side

I said, “Right here, sit still. Turn the car off and chill.”

Then he start to panic, I told him, “Relax.”

Then I pulled the keys out the ignition and hopped out, laughed

His life flash in an instant

I inched to his driver door then he tried to lock it, he couldn’t

And I ripped him right out his seat then I grabbed the side of my jeans and then

I pull out the shotty, I cocked it twice ‘till he screamed

And I shot his arm into pieces, I’m watchin’ his blood leakin’

And another shot to his chest, seen his stomach squeezing

His breath and his lungs collapse and he down to his fuckin’ knees

Askin’ me, “Why?”

He looked at me, I looked him dead in the eyes

Then I smashed his face with the barrel, and I throw his teeth to the sky

And then *cocks shotgun* sound of the shotty cock back

I pressed it hard against his head and blew his fuckin’ top back
