Little Bobby

Little Bobby just wanted to live his life right

Little Bobby just wanted to help his mom keep on the lights

Tired of seeing his mom struggling everyday

Little Bobby knew he had to find a way

Always was school smart never was street smart

But the books won’t help with the bills or pay for his lunch

Sad little Bobby always had a good heart

Till things started changing & his life fell apart

Cold summers , hot winters

Plenty of nights mom couldn’t afford dinner

Little Bobby was fed up and ready to become a man

Stood tall head held high ready to show the streets who he is

Little did he know the streets came with a price

It’s kill or be killed he out here risking his life

An it’s all for what ?

So his mom can pay the bills, so he can make a quick buck

Little Bobby ended up becoming a goon

Started touching some money now all the girls thirsty for him at school

Everybody thought Little Bobby was oh so cool

But he never let the hype get to him he wasn’t no fool

Cause when he was down & broke

Everybody treated Little Bobby like a joke

He had no hope , had no faith

Couldn’t buy new clothes or shoes , kids would laugh in his face

Since he got his money up he feel like a man

Gun posted on his hip while he moving grams

There’s still some things that little Bobby just don’t understand

Cause selling drugs & having a gun doesn’t make you a man

He got mixed up in the wrong things trying to help pay bills

All that book smart & good heart stuff ran for the hills

Word on the street little Bobby has a target on his head

The boys on his block wasn’t feeling his come up they wanted him dead

Once he heard the news about somebody wanting him killed

Man he got scared started stressing & popping pills

So he started realizing maybe it’s his time to kill

Cause he will not allow nothing or nobody to stop him from getting his family a meal

Little Bobby put a target out on whoever put a target on his head

It’s money in the mix so somebody gone end up dead

Little Bobby hearing a lot of chatter going on in the streets

It’s a lot of new guys now that’s packing some heat

Late night little Bobby on his way home with dinner for the fam

That’s when somebody walked up on him shot him right in the head

Next thing you know little Bobby was dead

I wish little Bobby never got into that life

But little Bobby was only trying to help his family live right.
