Something About Me 

LeVar “Var” Lawrence

They say that I ride around and that I don’t have no respect

How would you feel if you were shot in your neck?

Laying on the ground trying not to take your last breath

Trying not to close your eyes because sleep is the cousin of death

Can’t believe that you’ve just been shot in front of your son

While you’re on the floor watching the person that shot you run

I was laying on the floor gasping for air

Looking at the faces of people that I can tell didn’t care

They were hoping that I didn’t put up a fight

Only because they wanted to see me die on that night

Ambulance comes about 30 minutes late

Wondering to yourself will this be your fate

People asking did anyone call his baby mother

Police whispering in my ear

“You should’ve died motherfucker!”

Thinking to yourself that this is the end

And can’t believe that I was shot by somebody 

Who was supposed to be a friend

He better hope that this is the end of my life

Having thoughts about killing him and his wife

Waking up to handcuffs and wondering why

While family members have tears in their eyes

I had drugs in one pocket and a gun in the other

Tears rolling down the face of my mother

Doctor comes in shaking his head

Telling me that I will never walk and will be stuck in the bed

Told me that I needed a trache in my neck to help me breathe

Visiting hours over

Don’t want my baby mother to leave

Then looking up in the sky asking God why

Did he save me and just didn’t let me die

At that moment he spoke and said, “You’re special to me.

I have more in store for you 

Just wait you’ll see.”

I told him that I didn’t want to hear that shit 

Unless he’s giving me the ability to walk

He said, “My child, I just gave you back the ability to talk!”

Now, I just gave y’all part of my life to see

I know nothing about you but now you know a little bit about me
