Why did you shoot my best friend in cold blood?
He was like a brother to me, who helped
guide me on confusing ways of this world,
keeping me honest with his words of truth.

We were just hanging out on Friday night
at the city park, meeting up with friends,
and listening to good music to relax.
Why did you shoot my best friend in cold blood?

This city park belongs to every one
so we can play our music like we want
so we ignored you when you called us names.
Why did you shoot my best friend in cold blood?

When I was twelve, two gangstas selling drugs
tried to convince that I would get rich,
but my best friend kept me safe from their lies.
Why did you shoot my best friend in cold blood?

We called the police who are coming soon
so you can run fast but you cannot hide
because we got your face on video.
Why did you shoot my best friend in cold blood?

Though he is bleeding from his staring eyes
I know the doctors will keep him alive
because I need him on the road of life.
