letra de it's the death - sharod
listen to the story, this is so true
i hope it never, ever happens to you
listen to the story, this is no lie
about a friend of mine who loved to get high
a friend of mine was a pretty good guy
he didn’t steal, if he liked he’d buy
he worked very hard, every day
and lived with his parents around the way
listen to the story, this is so true
i hope it never, ever happens to you
we wеnt around the corner, to the park
wе played basketball until it got dark
my man said “hey, let’s go to the square”
the next thing you know we all were there
standing on the corner, talking about nothing
somebody said “let’s get into something”
out comes the bag and i say “oh my”
my man says “hey, let’s all get high”
(it’s the death)
i said to my buddy “there is no way
you see, i’m not about getting high today”
now most of the fellas just looked at me
and said “what’s wrong, man, what it be?”
i said “i’m not about taking no dope”
they said “have you tried it?” and i said “nope”
i think i’ll pass if you don’t mind
listen up to the messages in the rhyme
it’s the death, it can do you some harm
if you let that dope get into your arm
it could be your brother, sister or mate
dope will never discriminate
you can be black, white, yellow or brown
if you shoot that dope, it will mess you around
you see, my man, he started with pot
he said he smoked ’cause he liked it a lot
the next thing you know he’s popping pills
uppers, downers, he has no will
and then i said to my self “my my
i know i’ll never give it a try'”
but i’m not finished about my friend
you see, that’s not how the story ends
you see, by now he lost his job
to support his habit, he’s got to rob
holding up stores, robbing banks
he’s got a heroin jones to thank
trying to keep himself out of jail
because he knows he can’t afford the bail
his parents [?] between you and me
i remember when he stole his momma’s tv
a twenty-five inch magnavox
you should have seen the fool carrying it up the block
he went to the p-wn shop, put it down
got the money in his hand then he went uptown
the dealer in the corner said “i’ve got that”
my man said “really, is that a fact?
well, here’s my money, i’ve got the bread”
the dealer took the cash and then he said
“this is new, this is the brown
don’t shoot too much, it’ll mess you around”
my man said “don’t worry, i can’t handle it”
and he took the dope and then he split
he came back home, up on the square
all the fellas on the corner just chilling there
he said “hey, man, i’ve been uptown
and i got something new they call the brown”
he went to the vacant house on the block
didn’t have no door, didn’t need a lock
he’s sitting in the hallway always looking
he pulls out the works and he started cooking
(it’s the death)
when the dope was done, he tied up his arm
he never really knew he was doing any harm
in went the needle to his vein
but the dope just went right to his brain
then my man, he started to shake
we all knew then that it was too late
we called the ambulance right away
but when they got there he was d.o.a
dead on arrival, and that is true
and so ends this story that i told you
a man is gone, on a o.d
and that was enough to make me see that
(it’s the death)
it’s the death, it can do you some harm
if you let that dope get into your arm
it could be your brother, sister or mate
dope will never discriminate
you can be black, white, yellow or brown
if you shoot that dope, it’ll mess you around
then angel dust, it looks like glass
smoke too much and you’re on your…
[?] they call speed
and don’t forget that wacky weed
ups, downs, and the rock
getting into your system is hard to stop
messing with drugs is gonna be rough
messing with the drugs is gonna be tough
it’s the death, it can do you some harm…
