Take 1 (lol well okay more like 50)
Not perfect but better
Tyree
capo 2, Am, C, Dm, C thingy (a C with a drop 3rd finger)?
he was 29 fourteen days my junior I weighed the same at 1 45 on the night he died
when you look at me standing right in front of you see these things in common with the man who was beaten to death by some bad apples
“Didn’t do anything” was what he said “get on the fuckin ground” was the response “I hope they stomp his ass” was the follow up well they did and he never woke up
punched in the face he called out for his mother I’d do the same who do you turn to when the men whose job is it to protect you kick you while you’re down
homicide at claws of the scorpion a special unit we’d never heard of then disbanded after the incident there are still 34 more
and 39 percent of the bluff city budget pays for the men and women in blue and this is what they do
when you look at me I’m not 6’3 like Tyree we weighed the same we were the exact same age
and my bones would break the exact same way at the feet of five grown men who never brought him took fourty five minutes to call an ambulance (took fourty five minutes to call an ambulance)
He was from Sacremento he liked skateboarding and photography he had a 4 year old son who is now about 6 Tyree told his mom “I’ll be famous one day”
I wish that he never had to be famous
