He rolled up
Beside a car
Of a budding
Rap superstar
Who’s now dead
So there you are
I guess we haven’t
Got that far

Just like
The Wild Wild West (I guess)
And as deadly (nevertheless)
Though they try to do their best
So few ever pass that test

Cowboys don’t
Go down like that
Once the director
Says it’s a wrap
They get up
And dust off their hat
Then go home
From where they’re at

Just like
The Wild Wild West (I guess)
And as deadly (nevertherless)
Though they try to do their best
So few rappers pass that test

Votive candles
In makeshift shrines
Which we’re seeing
Too many times
Now that the reasons
Have lost their rhymes
Theses are the best
And worst of times

Just like
The Wild Wild West (I guess)
And as deadly (nevertherless)
Though they try to do their best
So few rappers pass that test

May the deceased
Rest in peace
As we ask
When will it cease
Their deaths seems to be
On the increase
And I’m not adding
Any yeast
