It Could Have Been...
It could have been me getting shot from all angles
All I planned to do that period was learn about triangles
It could have been my school
Some crazy dude shot people up because he thought it was cool
I could have been me screaming in a corner don’t shoot me
The police helped but I not sure he knew me
I could have been me seeing my friend die
Or see a bullet through me
It’s hard to see people lives go
No not this way by a complete psycho
I could have been me on his vendetta
I don’t understand why he was trying to get us
I could have been me
Some walked,some rode bikes and some took a bus back home
Looks like there’s no going home for us
It could have been me waiting for the tragity to end
Walking out became a trend
Thank god he’s of the streets he’s not here though
Those 17 lives needed a hero
