Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Gunned down cold on a raw deal
Home turf my battlefield
In no one's way, caught in a crossfire
Stray bullets can kill
[Verse 2]
Expendable youth
Fighting for possession
Having control, a principle obsession
Rivalry and retribution
Death the only solution
[Verse 3]
Injured soul on the hard ground
Head blown off, face down
Lying in a pool of blood
An accidental death, homicide
[Verse 4]
Expendable youth
Fighting for possession
Having control, a principle obsession
Rivalry and retribution
Death the only solution
[Verse 5]
Struggling to survive this drug-induced warfare
Having control, a principle obsession
Expendable youth fighting for possession
Violence is only a friend
[Verse 6]
Expendable youth
Fighting for possession
Having control, a principle obsession
Rivalry and retribution
Death the only solution
