Yso'siris - Urban Cycles Lyrics

He young and wired
Thirsty for revenge
Ready to let his shots fire

He mad at them cats
Who robbed his boy
Up the street

Now it's his beef
He pulls his heat
Letting his finger speak

Bullet ricochet went the wrong way
Follow these bullets as they stray
And kill another innocent person today

He ran away dipping thru the pathway
Adrenaline pumping he feeling brave
Like he done something amazing

Not knowing he struck a woman
And she dying
Store owner crying

Cause she witnessed the shooting
And she trembling
The lady was her friend

And she hurting
Police sirens alarming the people
Who's asking questions

Who's the shooter
And what did the this poor woman do to ya
To deserve this open public murder

Meanwhile he walking down
Another block
With a diddy bop

Thinking all the commotion means
One of the dudes
Must got shot

Why do people have to die like this
Precious souls here for a reason
Life is a gift
We admonish to cherish it
Yet who really paying attention
When these children kill children
And murder innocent victims
It's genocide Willie Lynch
Some mistake it for pride
In these urban land
These lost souls
They ain't scared to fly
They will shoot you
And won't even think about your family
They feel it's an honor
In the streets
To give their heart to the beast

Next morning he wake up yawning
A new day arise

He feels energized
Not realizing he in for a surprise

Word on the street is
He shot at some guys but he missed them

Now he's wanted for a murder
Killing that helpless victim

He slid off thru the alley
After a ears listening

Heart pounding he's insecure
Feeling his world is caving in

He didn't mean to kill the lady
But he know it's too late

To turn back the hands of time
And correct that fatal mistake

In his mind he getting angry at his enemy
Cause he missed them

Demons festering his brain
Telling him to go get 'em

Clutching his weapon
No sense of direction for his frustration

He thugged out ready to die
Wanting to express his aggression

A menace to society
He wouldn't change if he could

He value perceptions that he get
From the Boyz in the Hood

Now he's on a mission to prove
That he so real with steel

Not even thinking about
The woman he just accidentally killed

Why do people have to die like this
Precious souls here for a reason
Life is a gift
We admonish to cherish it
Yet who really paying attention
When these children kill children
And murder innocent victims
It's genocide Willie Lynch
Some mistake it for pride
In these urban land
These lost souls
They ain't scared to fly
They will shoot you
And won't even think about your family
They feel it's an honor
In the streets
To give their heart to the beast

So this young cat with a gat
Feel his heart is intact

He catches wind in the streets
Where this dice game at

He plotting to run inside
And lay everyone flat

Not knowing some of them cats
Is not having that
He gambling

Loss about a stack
Now he rambling

Back and forth with a young boy
Who's also known for hammering

Facial expressions
Setting the tone for beef

Words collide in the air
As they both draw for heat

Everybody scattered
But it really ain't matter

They aiming at each other
Gritting with their fingers on the triggers

It ain't no talking it out
No fighting
This a shootout

Somebody about to get killed
But what is it all about

Same cat who killed the lady
He pulled his trigger first

Safety was on
The other cat didn't hesitate to burst

He hit him in his chest immediate death
Nothing left to prove

It's tragic but it's true
How karma comes back to haunt you

Why do people have to die like this
Precious souls here for a reason
Life is a gift
We admonish to cherish it
Yet who really paying attention
When these children kill children
And murder innocent victims
It's genocide Willie Lynch
Some mistake it for pride
In these urban land
These lost souls
They ain't scared to fly
They will shoot you
And won't even think about your family
They feel it's an honor
In the streets
To give their heart to the beast
