Close Your Eyes

Won't you close your eyes
Close your eyesThere once was a kid
Who lived just down the street
A quoter block from me
He shaved off his hair, put boots on his feet
And said, "This was his country"The day came around
And the shit all went down
And too late to see the light
He was caught up and shot up in a fightWon't you close your eyes
Close your eyesThere once was a kid
From South Central L.A.
Who threw up his set all day
All dressed in blue nothing to do
Said, "Hey man, what set you claim"The blood pulled a nine
And threw up his sign, then let the trigger slide
And he was, caught up and shot up in a fightLets goLife can get cut short so
Try to stay in line
And you wanna be a man
But this shit happens all the timeSo let's just all hang out
Don't give a fuck about what they say
'Cause they're all lame
And we're all still the same, sameWon't you close your eyes
Close your eyesClose your eyes
Close your eyes
