[Verse 1: Prodz]
She was the love of his life, until the fate of one night
But let me start at the beginning so you're seeing this right
His name Marco, a tough dude, he had a rough life
He used to listen to his father beat his mother at night
He'd hide inside his closet and wish he was somewhere else
Was too little at the time to take his pops by himself
So he had to sit and listen while the beatings were dealt
He uses fists and he'd kick her, maybe even a belt
Years past teen years, picked up his father's habits
He's acting like a savage, surrounded by family madness
So he ducked out, alone, now the streets is his family
Didn't know about love until he ran into Tammy
He always used to see her on the street from a distance
And fantasize of holdin' her and giving her kisses
But how can she accept him and the pain that he lived with
Her family's tight-knit, they even celebrate Christmas
[Hook: Prodz]
Forbidden love, like the Shakespeare play
And it all made sense until the fate of one day
It sounds cliché, but you can't test faith
Shouldn't rush into nothin', guess it's best if you wait
(x2)
[Verse 2: Prodz]
Her name Tammy, cute girl with close family
The youngest of four girls, one brother named Manny
They would go on family outings and their love was a bond
Didn't know about the next door neighbours and what was goin' on
Dinner was at 5, soon as daddy came home
Hold hands, say grace, man this house is a home
She would walk to the bus stop first thing in the morning
Watching Marco posted up and selling drugs at the corner
She knew she couldn't talk to him, pops would have tantrums
Sectretly inside she thought that Marco was handsome
One monday, took the bus driver a while to arrive
So she walked to Marco with a smile
She ended up skippin', just to stay by his side
Let's run and hide, cause we can't fight this feelin' inside
This is destiny, and all along you live next door
I accept just who you are, and our love, it is sure
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Prodz]
Let's run away, and that's to never look back
Marco straightened out his act, he thanks Tammy for that
Even got himself a job, it's for her this is done
Not to mention they expect a new son in five months
New crib, new blanket, blue outfits and shoes
He's never gonna let his son see the pain he went through
But his job lays him off, so it's back to the block
Not tellin' Tammy but he's gotta get his family some guap
On this day Tammy feels sick, it's premature birth
Calls his phone and tells him; "hurry home baby, this hurts"
But he's got no ride, then he walks six blocks
But just then, at a red light, a black Benz stops
Sticks his gun in the face of a well-dressed man
Carjacks him, shoots him in the chest, and then he scrams
When he makes it to the hospital, his heart, it just drops
We lost a baby, too late, somebody carjacked the doc
