A SAD SILENCE

two years and extra days, a block away he'd had to hang
same corner, neighborhood, his friends, the gang
two years and extra days, a bigger kid would crack his eye
no real reason, explanation, and everyday no one knew why
the bigger kid was crazy, that made the gang afraid
when he told the gang to shut their mouths, the gang obeyed
you've got to have a place to be, you need a place to hang around

Chorus:
so no spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound
both his eyes would twitch
the left one was always black
his lips they never moved
they stayed still, with each attack
his ears were always ringing, 
in his head he heard a hum
and all the kids on the corner
knew what it was from

then one day it happened, he tooks his daily crack
his eyes rolled up, like yesterday, he started falling  back
the kids that watch this everyday, no watched him hit the ground

Chorus

no one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound
a sad silent situation, now he's not around
