A DOUBLE DOSE BY DDC

MEMORIAL DAY

Shooter’s blame is implied

We talkin bout how you can survive

Cuz it’s true you can die

While just livin yo life

And while it may not be right

That’s just what it’s like

Maybe we can change it

But until then it’s dangerous

So keep your head swiveling

and keep your moves silent

Trembling thought is

you can still feel the violence

Face first or torso

But more so than that

At least you did all you could to keep your body attached

To your soul

Young or old

Your goal is getting home

You can cop some more ice

But they don’t sell no new domes

Welcome to the new territory

Where we should be gettin tired

of tellin new stories

about gaining some murderous glory

It ain’t for me no more we can sho do better

But again

until then

Check your pride under your sweater

Cuz it’s tougher than a safe out there

And I ain’t saying live in fear

But respect the anger and rage

of the man in the next cage

He don’t feel as free as you be

He ain’t up on that stage

You can call it jealousy

or turn it to another page

I’m just sayin

Do your best to

Get yourself to your next age

A NIGHT MEMORIAL

In the cold winter shadows he stood alone waiting for love

But instead all he heard was

What’s up cuzz?

Who you is?

Where you from?

What you doin round here?

Ah man. I ain’t nobody. I’m just waitin for Ciara.

Nigga that’s my sista.

Oh yeah? That’s cool.

Where you know her from fool?

We go to the same school.

You never told me where you from. Lil nigga where yo hood?

I grew up down there where them niggas is no good.

That ain’t tellin me nothin.

I should be fuckin you up!

Over here trying to get at my sister to get yo lil ass a nut.

That’s not what’s up.

But.

You can believe as you may.

I ain’t gon lie. I like her. I mean a nigga ain’t gay.

She cute as a button and got a big ol…

Ay!

I’m just sayin.

I like her cuz games she don’t be playin.

Except for the video kind.

They be lyin. Love ain’t blind.

I see.

You think you a lil g, huh homie?

Nah man. No disrespect to you. I just ain’t no phony.

I give you that, cuz. You got some kinda heart there, mista.

But I’ll still kill yo ass. So don’t even try to play my sister.

And I’ma let you slide for all that tuff talk today.

Don’t let it happen again, cuz nigga, I’m the one don’t play.

You heard what I say?

Yeah. I heard you. Plus, I already know who you is.

They call you Lil Zero from the Eastside.

You and Keshia got 3 kids.

You the 2nd of your name,

Rest in peace to your OG,

But that nigga killed my big brother so fuck his whole family!

Before Z could reach his heat from his saggin drunk pants line,

Homie sliced em twice real nice, then divided his cosign.

Nigga neva saw him coming, but I guess it goes to show.

Don’t take none of this shit for granted,

Cuz you really never know.
