Bang! Bang!

 

That’s the sound of a gunshot

 

Loud echoes down my neighborhood block

 

The news has reported he was killed by the shot

 

Who could it be

 

I know it’s not me

 

I fall to my knees and thank God it wasn’t me

 

Cause if it was me, mom wouldn’t be happy

 

Nowadays its no lackin neighborhood like as Atkinson or candy store

So I stay out the way so I won’t be the next face or a shirt.
