3.23 Lyrics

It's the Great

Drellonthetrack

Loyalty and Respect

I've mentioned my pops and what happened

But never truly went into detail

I plan to do that with this if yall don't mind

Lets go back to sophomore year I was only 15

Young Negu moving on up with a head that Was full of dreams

Tryna make his family proud and go get a Degree

And make enough money it seem as if he sold The tree

Aspiring student headed to university

Grand Valley to be exact the only school that I Could see

Myself going to if I was ever gone succeed

But things went nowhere but down on 3-23

It's 3:40pm I'm 20 minutes late

My dad was waiting outside for me since like 3:08

He made sure he was early he had places to be

And his plans was ruined in return all because Of me

Had to rush to pick up my mama from her job

Being late to do that all my dad could do was nod

In disappointment looking at me no one could Relate

The feelings I felt at that moment knew I made A mistake

3-23-a day in history

That my fam'll never forget full of misery

Damn this life shit crazy man could it be?

That we was tested from God did we succeed?

He dropped us off at home and he was on his Way

He always made sure to handle business to Make sure we was straight

Then it was 6:30 on the clock when we got the News

I was doing my science project a little Confused

Then I felt my mama heart drop and couldn't Believe it

All I heard was a loud thud I could just see it

My mama falling to the ground as she wept in Pain

After hearing somebody tried to take my pops Up out the game

Less than one percent chance of living he Prevailed

With the odds stacked against him he was Posed to fail

Shot at point blank range in his back and in his Head

Didn't take his money or nothing they just Wanted him dead

But them cowards failed and it's safe to say That they in hell

Got done up the same way so they don't live to Tell

Like 50 said it's clear my pops here for a Reason

Cuz they got hit like he got hit but they ain't Fucking breathing

3-23 a day in history

That my fam'll never forget full of misery

Damn this life shit crazy man could it be?

That we was tested from God did we succeed?

So many questions but just not enough Answers

We should be moving forward but we keep Going backwards

Man this not how this life shit supposed to be

Why it had to happen to my pops it should've Been me

Surveillance video shows the moment a man is Shot(3-23 will never leave)

Outside a home on Detroit's WestSide(my Head my heart)

The victim is with 2 other people(my soul)

And they're loading a mini van

When another car pulls up(3.23)

The passenger jumps out and struggles with The victim(will never leave)

Then shoots him

Should've been me(My head

My heart my soul)
