(Verse)

Mike picked up the phone.
|
Just like every other night Mike had to go home
|
But this time something felt strange
|
I can see it in his eyes, I can feel Mike's pain
|
He leaned over with his hands on his head
|
He screamed real loud til his face turned red
|
He took a deep breath, he paused and said
|
'My mom, she's dead.'
|
A robber thought nobody was home
|
But Mike's mom was there alone
|
The robber fired six shots from his gun
|
And she didn't have time to call 911
|
An eyewitness was there on the scene
|
And you're not gonna believe who she's seen
|
Mike nearly passed out when she gave the man's name
|
It was him, it was James!
|
|
(Hook)
|
I can see it in his face, I can see it in his eyes
|
Mike be strong, Mike don't cry
|
Mike hold on, Mike don't do it
|
Mike was gonna kill him, and everybody knew it
|
|
I can hear it in his voice, I can hear it in his cries
|
Mike don't go, Mike you're gonna die
|
Mike just stop, please, Mike, please
|
But he wasn't gonna stop 'til he made James bleed
|
|
(Verse)
|
He grabbed his gun and headed for the bus-stop
|
Then he waited out in the front of the gas-stop
|
And he got right up on the bus
|
He was a good guy, but he sure was nuts
|
I gave Mike my last farewell
|
Where he was headed he would not tell
|
I asked God to protect him
|
And if he died I asked heaven to accept him
|
Then Mike crawled out into the night
|
I told myself 'I hope I'm not right.'
|
But I don't think he'll come back
|
Unless he's in a casket wearing all black
|
I felt helpless, there's nothing I could do
|
And I ain't ever walked a mile in his shoes
|
But I knew that this was bad news
|
I was about to lose the most important member of my crew
|
|
(Hook)
|
I can see it in his face, I can see it in his eyes
|
Mike be strong, Mike don't cry
|
Mike hold on, Mike don't do it
|
Mike was gonna kill him, and everybody knew it
|
|
I can hear it in his voice, I can hear it in his cries
|
Mike don't go, Mike you're gonna die
|
Mike just stop, please, Mike, please
|
But he wasn't gonna stop 'til he made James bleed
|
|
(Verse)
|
I heard about how it all went down
|
In the middle of the woods with nobody around
|
Mike and James with their finger on the trigger
|
Violence will only make your problems even bigger
|
James fired three shots into the night
|
Before Mike even had James in his sight
|
That's how it all went down
|
Violence is only gonna put you to the ground
|
|
(Hook
|
I can see it in his face, I can see it in his eyes
|
Mike be strong, Mike don't cry
|
Mike hold on, Mike don't do it
|
Mike was gonna kill him, and everybody knew it
|
|
I can hear it in his voice, I can hear it in his cries
|
Mike don't go, Mike you're gonna die
|
Mike just stop, please, Mike, please
|
But he wasn't gonna stop 'til he made James bleed
