Close Your Eyes   





There once was a kid who lived just down the street 

A quater block from me 

He shaved off his hair, put boots on his feet 

And said this was his country 

The day came around and the shit all went down 

And too late to see the light 

He was caught up and shot up in a fight 

Won't you close your eyes 

There once was a kid from South Central L.A. 

Who threw up his set all day 

All dressed in blue nothing to do 

Said  hey man, what set you claim  

The blood pulled a nine 

And threw up his sign, then let the trigger slide 

And he was, caught up and shot up in a fight 

Life can get cut short so 

Try to stay in line 

You wanna be a man 

But this shit happens all the time 

So let's just all hang out 

Don't give a fuck about what they say 

Cause they're all lame 

And we're all still the same 

Won't you close your eyes
