I once knew this girl this girl we real tight
Her parents didn't give da#n about her, so I taught her wrong from right
She was the only girl that knew me from front to back
And the love I had for her wasn't an act
Yes she looked good, but we were to close to date
And when she had a problem I was the only one that could relate
She was there for me and I was there for her
We suffered threw the oppression of the ghetto together
As we got older our friendship started to fall out
I tried to hang in there cause that's what being a friend is all about
She got a boyfriend that was dumb and treated her like sh#t
She wouldn't listen but I told her she was headed for some sh#t
She was making bad choices and pushing me away
So finally, I gave up and said okay
She started to use drugs and screwing any and every guy
If I step in and said something, her family never would have had to cry
She drop out of school, cause she got pregnant by some guy
But she swore up and down she would get by
Months went by and she was found in a crack house with her pants down and a needle in her arm
If I would have done something she would have never come to harm
At her funeral I ask myself why I let her die
And for a straight week after all I did was cry
I don't blame myself much for her death anymore
But the thought of not doing something more, haunts me to the core
