Get your money and run, run, run
Don't stop, 'cause the price is your life
I once knew a cat back in the BC projects, used to
Always tell me that home is where the heart is
He struggled to keep his life out the gutter the way he promised
To his mom, his friends, n' later to a higher profit, but
God wasn't listenin', someone else heard is predicament
A single mom workin' 2 jobs who could barely pay the rent
His dad took off, his brother died in an accident
He started driftin' away from all his closest friends
You better believe when opportunity came a'knockin'
That he'd jump to any measure for a fully packed wallet
Ended up robbin' houses n' cars for a quick dollar
Wasn't long before he f*cked up, he got collared
Did some time n' got out with a new perspective
For about a week, then it was back to the main objective, found that
Slingin' drugs earned em' a fat buck
But after a while, even that wasn't enough
He started shootin' up
Get your money and run, run, run
Don't stop, 'cause the price is your life
So he packed his bags n' left in a fit
Called his mom a bitch n' then said, "thanks for nothin'!"
Crashin' on couches and in his car slummin'
But he had a demon inside and he couldn't outrun it
Went back to hustlin' n' walkin' the streets
When everyone turned away is when the voices started to creep
It turned him into a desperate fiend
With no remorse, only a heart once good now shadowed in greed
He was my boy, a long time homie
Haven't seen him in years like he don't know me
Heard he went missin' n' no one has a clue
No note or trail or sign behind of him comin' back through
Shit didn't even make the news, hardly anyone knew
Or gave two shits like, "who the f*ck is this dude?"
Now he's a ghost, a story with a bitter tune
Ya'll be careful 'cause it's true n' it can happen to you
Get your money and run, run, run
Don't stop, 'cause the price is your life
I'm not quite sure how to part from this
I was never good at taking losses, it cost us
Everything to see you so low
You tried to touch the grace of God
Well, you knocked on the wrong door
That pressure on your back was the wait of the world
You saw responsibility n' thought you'd give it a whirl
Twirled, drownin' as your downward spiral unfurled
Still you tried your hardest just to raise your little girl
Gotta be a man, gotta make that bread
Bills pilin' up, workin' yourself to death, that stress
Kept messin' with you, have you second guessin'
Whether or not tomorrow was worth takin' another breath in
Then you found a vice off some bad advice
You wanna relax? Just pop a couple Viccs
But it didn't stop there, you started f*ckin' with that harder shit
N' honestly man, I wanted no part of it
Watchin' you blitzed off that pump had me f*cked up
That sad, blank expression tellin' me you shot up
A lot of your potential faded with your mental
Clashin' with the drugs in your system
Makin' you react in, ways that were never like you, bro
I wanted the old you back, but where did he go?
If you come acrossed em', let me know
Boy's been MIA since 2010, October 24
