I have seen death right in the eye.

As teens on night we were riding high,

Not high on drugs, but, high on life,

One night, one bullet, a lifetime  filled with strife.

I have seen death right in the eye.

In love as we knew it-we thought we had the entire pie.

His life was filled with others jealousy and envy,

To heaven is where they would send thee.

I have seen death right in the eye,

A beautiful woman, yet a little girl deep inside,

Wondering aimlessly-her pride she would hide.

One night, one man,

Her death he would have on his hand.

I have seen death right in the eye,

He was a ghetto super star,

With his words and lyrics he'd drift too far.

One night he laid his head to rest-he would see,

There is a heaven for a G.

I have seen death right in the eye,

I too shall meet my maker,

Until then my family prays, "do not take her."

I've lived  and loved with so much more to see.

Until that day- on earth is where I will be.
