Died On The Ground (For Ma'khia)
Stephen Suggs 1983 (beaver)
Girls were in my grandmas house
saying that they were staying
I was trying to get them out
So I called dispatchers at the station
We argued for a bit
until one charged at me
I grabbed a knife quick
The girl ran past me
Her attitude was so nasty
The cops pulled up with doubt
One girl ran past me
as we all began to shout
The cops saw a scene in fast motion
I wanted peace as crazy it may sound
My heart was raging with deep emotion
Shots rang out and then...
I Died On The Ground
