lyrics

On October 25th
Your brother he came to me
And said mama I killed a man
Could still smell the blood
On the skin of his hands
And I said son, they gonna make you a man
Twenty-five years or life
Is what they will give to you
At it seems you have yet to learn
Oh it seems you have yet to learn

And I said woman
Please tell me story
You know so well

December 1st your father came to me
He said woman I can no longer sling this dope
The high life ain’t the good life
It was portrayed to be
For sure it ain’t for me
But babe I will do
What I ever I need to, to be with you
Cause you are all I have got
And he said
Babe I will do
Whatever I need to, to be with you
Cause you are all I have got

On March 1st 1993
The first of seven oh they came to me
Their father was gangster
A gangster was all he could be
Cause when you are born in the Tenderloin
Life can be grimy as can be
People spreading dope like it’s a diseases
When the dog catches its own tail
Its been chasing for years
Not quite the pit-bull it appears
When the dog catches its own tail
Its been chasing for years
Not quite the pit-bull it appears

When you are born in the Tenderloin
And bodies wash up in the bay
Life is cheap yet death is the price you pay to play
