He was just a kid 15 years old
In the winter time on the block so cold
White was on his feet saying color was the blow on his sleeve
Did need school cause he didnt have work?
He was so young didnt think of gettin hurt
Another day in the life, the music was right

She came from the bad part of her town
All she ever dreamed of was a way out
She could sang she was gold, all she wanted was gold
Shed do anything just to get that cash
Working on the club showing off that a**
Told herself she was fine as she closed her eyes

She wanted money, She wanted cars
And she wont stop until shes a superstar.
He wanted watches, he wanted chains.
He said a few more stacks and hes out the game

Hes so caught up (im sorry) hes so caught up (im sorry)
He got caught up (i guess we just didnt do enough)
Shes so caught up (im sorry) shes so caught up (im sorry)
She got caught up (i guess we didnt get to you soon enough)
They got caught up

He was gettin paid and he could be touched
Thats why they didnt think too much
He was flashing his eyes trying to light up the light
Oh, car pulled up on the side of the curb
Shots rang out not a whisper was heard
He was left on the street, whole world was asleep

Told herself one day ima sell out shows
Sittin in the back putting stuff up her nose
And then she hit the stage ; imagined the day
Then a man ina suit said your beautiful to me
You can be anything that you wanna be [bad word] work for me, he put her on the street

She wanted money, she wanted cars
And she wont stop until shes a superstar.
He wanted watches, he wanted chains.
He said a few more stacks and hes out the game

Hes so caught up (im sorry) hes so caught up (im sorry)
He got caught up (i guess we just didnt do enough)
Shes so caught up (im sorry) shes so caught up (im sorry)
She got caught up (we didnt get to you soon enough)

Let me talk to em
Gettin caught up like they paid the light bill
The day dont get you then i bet you the night will
So mc is that better for these young kids
Stop bringing to the world what your gun did
That dont make a man, it just take a man
See it every day in a late like a lakerfan
If i only got a couple of balls
Than ima tell you that we all in trouble tomorrow
Cause they getting worse at a younger age
Thats why my tone sound like im getting under pain
And if i could speak to the kids in the class room
Id tell them all please stay in the classroom
Dont be quick to grow up fast
Thats [bad word] when you see em
Throwing up cash in the club like
They made the money but it go quick like i put ??

She wanted money, she wanted cars
And she wont stop until shes a superstar.
He wanted watches, he wanted chains.
He said a few more stacks and hes out the game

Hes so caught up (im sorry) hes so caught up (im sorry)
He got caught up (i guess we just didnt do enough)
Shes so caught up (im sorry) shes so caught up (im sorry)
She got caught up (we didnt get to you soon enough)

Caught up, (im sorry) he didnt make it

I guess we just didnt do enough
