[00:48.78]And in the middle at the same time guzzlin a beer
[00:51.18]Like a puzzle or a riddle - discoverin his path to the hoop

[01:54.54]**** from across the streets, ****** approach - slow
[01:56.37]Well get the metal out, too late, the guns flash
[01:59.25]In the melee they wet him like reggae sunsplash
[02:01.47]Sun dashed with the quickness, back into the ride
[02:03.96]With a smile on his face, the picture of pride
[02:06.36]Blood comin from his mouth, now i'm at his side
[02:08.88]Kneelin over donovan's body before he died
[02:11.34]Eyes - flutterin up and down in his head
[02:13.56]And with his last breath this is what he said
[02:15.66]He  said, "whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?"
[02:24.99]Then i closed his eyes
