What Goes Up

"Somebody please, give me just a minute

To explain, my misery"

"What goes up, must come down" - Lords Of The Underground

"Somebody please"

December 31, 11: 59

On the roof counting down looking at the city shine

In his mind is that lifestyle he's leaving behind

We ain't gotta talk about it, you can read between the lines

But he got a job hope it pays, whole squad smoke haze

Blowing smoke, joking, reminiscing of the older days

It's New Years Eve believing that the seasons

For whatever reasons cleans our sins and cast out the demons

Soon as 12 hits, he pulls a single bullet

Kisses the tip and says this is the last time he'll pull it

Let it slip into the chamber, stops, says a little prayer

Aims it at the sky, shoots it up into the air

As the bullet gains velocity and rockets to the heavens

Traveling a few miles in just a few seconds

He feels better, real better like a weight was lifted

He escaped a wicked world and let the bullet take it with it

But what goes up... must come down

And all the way across town falling to the ground

That little piece of metal found a real familiar face

Home boys girlfriend, wrong time, wrong place

Out partying with friends in a line at a club

Stood right beneath the path of an earth bound slug

And a it's really very odd or a plan from God

But the bullet struck her head like a lightening rod

Bad news travels fast, cell phones maker it faster

He's girls bestfriend called depicting the disaster

Immediately it clicked, the bullet from his clip

Just blew the love of his life's brains to bits

Must be calm, before all of the negative drama

Ironic, made him vomit on the front of his bomber

And said it was the last time but really thought it through

The guns got one more job to do
