1
This is a story about Tommy and Elaine
2
Just another case about the wrong path
3
It's gonna get ya
4
Tommy was a nobody
5
Throughout his childhood years
6
Scrubby clothes, parents ?, no friends amongst his peers
7
Junior high arrived so depressed inside
8
Late one evening he even tried to take his own life
9
Yo, his mom found a knife
10
With his wrists sliced
11
Laying on the floor of his room, no lights
12
Doctors put him on some meds for his depression
13
But mom prayed nightly asking' god to bless him
14
Now a freshmen up in highscool no longer the fool
15
Place to forget the past and start new
16
He quickly made friends with this cat named Juan
17
And Tommy skipping class, stealing cigs from his mom
18
A couple years pass now he's a junior
19
11th grade searching for quicker ways to get paid
20
He soon got connected with this cat down in ?
21
Now he's got his girl signing for packages in the mail
22
Went from ripped jeans to mad cream
23
Traded all his nightmares for the pleasant dreams
24
No longer the kid with no friends trying to blend
25
That chapter in his life soon came to an end
26
Now a rollie covers his scars sitting' on his wrist
27
Rocking' the illest gear cellie sitting' on his hip
28
Fly whips, fly chicks, collecting mad chips
29
Jealous cats waiting for his time to slip
30
One night Tommy's driving home from this party
31
High off the weed yo drunk from bacardi
32
Barely made it home his mom helped him in the house
33
Walked up in the living room passed out on the couch
34
Suddenly these cats kicked in his door
35
Ran up in the house threw his mom to the floor
36
Put the pistol to her head this is what he said
37
"Your money and your weed or the bitch is fucking dead!"
38
Tommy tried to tell em "Yo, its at another spot"
39
Two seconds later all you heard was a shot
40
They pistol whipped Tommy snatched him for his jewels
41
Ran out the house off in his ride they cruised
42
Tommy struggled to make it to his mom's side
43
She lay in a pool of blood with no life
44
He finally thought he was a man and had it made
45
But was it really worth the price that Tommy paid
46
Take a look around
47
Get the big picture
48
People steady scheming on ways to get richer
49
Trying to live a lifestyle that doesn't even fit ya
50
Watch out kid cause in the end its gonna get ya
51
Elaine was a high school girl she had it made
52
Never late to school with above average grades
53
Her own condo on the outskirts of Blaine
54
Car, cell phone, all in her parents name
55
Bills paid for by mom and pops
56
Who had a nice little tight relationship with the cops
57
Living above the law and on top of the world
58
Moms honor roll daughter and daddy's little girl
59
But all of a sudden her life took a strange swing
60
Elaine wasn't interested in the same things
61
She felt she was living too plain
62
And that she didn't fit in so she started running with a gang
63
Selling cocaine she really didn't need the extra money
64
She did it for the respect and the fame
65
Now lets not forget this is the girl from Blaine
66
And if her parents ever found out no doubt they'd go insane
67
Soon she slowly lost her grip
68
Elaine started skipping classes and her grades started to slip
69
And one night she came home with a busted lip
70
She insisted it was nothing but both her parents flipped
71
She said she got hit by a basketball in gym class
72
But the truth was that her boyfriend had whooped her ass
73
The next afternoon they got a letter in the mail from the school
74
It said that she was breaking some rules
75
There was unexcused absences, good grades dropped
76
And that there was a couple incidents with the cops
77
They couldn't believe what they just heard
78
That schools got some nerve
79
Claiming that there Elaine was in trouble, that's absurd
80
So right away they called their friends on the force to investigate
81
But by that time it was already to late
82
For what they saw on the TV would stop their blood in their veins
83
Local girl found dead overdose on cocaine
84
Her parents never knew such pain
85
And from that moment on their lives would never be the same
86
Her mom took it the hardest like she was to blame
87
And a month later she put a bullet in her brain
88
Its a shame 'cause two lives were lost in this mess
89
Elaine got more than she bargained for I guess
90
Yo there once was a girl named Elaine who had it all
91
She was high for a second but took a fatal fall
92
(Scratching by DJ Abilities: "Figured out I went the wrong route..")
93
Take a look around
94
Get the big picture
95
People steady scheming on ways to get richer
96
Trying to live a lifestyle that doesn't even fit ya
97
Watch out kid cause in the end its gonna get ya
