These These types of things happen everyday

[Lil Rob - Chorus:]

Out in the streets where they don't play

They don't pray, They just know it will be okay

Gun shots they pronounced him D.O.A

These, these types of things happen everyday

Out in the streets where they don't play

Parents pray that their kids will be okay

I jumped in the trey get on my way

I say these types of things happen everyday

[Lil Rob - Verse 1:]

He's got a chip on this shoulder

The size of boulders, graffiti written on his folder He's a neighborhood soldier

He's a young kid, but he acts much older

Don't mess around with the dude or it's over

He doesn't know that he won't live to be much older

Then one day he runs into someone else that's colder and badder than he is (than he is)

He doesn't pray, but one day he's gonna be screaming for Jesus, he's on a messed up path that leads to death

And there's no turning back, atleast he's one that's never heard of that

He likes to bump Chicano murder rap (murder rap)

He was Eighteen with a bullet

But the other vato busted back

[Lil Rob - Chorus:]

Out in the streets where they don't play

They don't pray, They just know it will be okay

Gun shots they pronounced him D.O.A

These, these types of things happen everyday

Out in the streets where they don't play

There is pray that their kids will be okay

I jumped in the trey get on my way

I say these types of things happen everyday

[Lil Rob - Verse 2:]

I Knew this dude, he's Twenty-two

And he packed a .22

Just because you never know what another man will do

And these fools are getting crazy now days

And homeboy knew what these fools would do

Cause he's a homeboy too

It ain't nothing new

He knows whats up he ain't no chump

But the ain't trying to be no gangster either

He gots a girl and he can't wait to see her

He's feeling right about this one

If I could write a rap then I would write about this one (that's what he said)

But something had to get in the way

No words spoken, there was nothing to say

Eyes wide opened he'd lay on the 5th of May (of May)

His brothers found him cause the homeboy Smiley just past away today

[Lil Rob - Chorus:]

Out in the streets where they don't play

They don't pray, They just know it will be okay

Gun shots they pronounced him D.O.A

These, these types of things happen everyday

Out in the streets where they don't play

Parents pray that their kids will be okay

I jumped in the trey get on my way

I say these types of things happen everyday

[Lil Rob - Verse 3:]

This other guy's a good guy, and he liked to stay clean

La Vida Loca, Crazy Life at Eighteen

Got shot in the mouth, and was almost taken out (taken out)

Jaw wired shut what the hell's he saying now

Nothing like I always have, I mean like he always had

All the heart the homie has, nothing's holding homie back

Only the strong survive, supposed to be paralyzed

He's still alive and loves to open his eyes (his eyes)

Another day a different way everything's gonna be okay

'Cause he's gonna make sure it ends up that way

Never thought you'd see him here

It took some time, It took some years, alot of blood sweat and tears

[Lil Rob - Chorus:]

Out in the streets where they don't play

They don't pray, They just know it will be okay

Gun shots they pronounced him D.O.A

These, these types of things happen everyday

Out in the streets where they don't play

Parents pray that their kids will be okay

I jumped in the trey get on my way

I say these types of things happen everyday

Yeah,Bionic on the beat
