The Will for Revenge

[Mercy]

PART 1

We looked him in his eyes as he was once a good kid.
Went mad when his mom died, and got into hood shit.
Became straight-A student, who quickly fell of the map.
We tried to help his struggles, but he's well in it's trap.
He was pushed to his limits.. then went over the edge.
He's got demons screamin', tryna' cope with his stress.
No matter what we do with him, it's "kill to the death".
Lemme give my friends' story 'bout his will for revenge.
...
It was a quiet day in August, he was minding his own.
When a gunmen had ran up, sending nine at his dome.
He felt no pain, but had noticed blood on his shoulder.
He was shocked at the sight he saw, as he looked over.
Seeing what seemed unreal, was right before his eyes.
And though he tried to hold it in, he had to force a cry.
Looking back, he had wished the gunmen shot another.
Though it was aimed for him, the bullet got his mother.
...
He was only 21 when he had watched his mother pass.
He tried to forget it, but 'til he dies, that memory'll last.
When I heard the news, my jaw dropped, I felt hurt too.
It still hurts me as much as him just to step in her room.
Every single time I see him, he's always out on his porch.
Sitting where hid mother died, just crying more and more.
I felt he deserved justice, so this idea came to my mind.
That we get revenge on the man who had dealt this crime.


And, not only do I regret this, but I bet he does too.
This is around the time that his brain twisted in loops.

PART 2

We got our friends together - me, him, then David and Sam.
As we plotted revenge, he kept saying "stay with the plan".
It took many hours to track this guy, but we soon succeeded.
We gathered all the weapons, I knew we were soon leavin'.
But then as soon as we left, I felt my heart skipping beats.
I felt I took a wrong turn in what I thought was living free.
I guess I threw it all away, just to help avenge the fallen.
For what it's worth, this kid's my brother and I'm here always.
...
We were close to the house, and we were ready for action.
We all looked at each other like: "Let's go level this halfwit".
For some reason, David looked the most excited to shoot.
I've never seen someone happy to put one's life into doom.
We turned onto the street, and I was nervous n' frightened.
I can't believe that this will be the way that my night went.
And the more we get closer, my heart beats at rave pace.
But it dropped as soon as I saw we were at Dave's place...
...
He turned slowly, with the devil's eyes giving David a stare.
That's when David laughed and laughed, without giving a care.
Distraught, he got out of the car, but David came with him.
And said "Get your revenge! Killing your friend makes no difference!".
He pulled a gun from his jacket and said "Will this 'nine' do it?
You wanted revenge but won't fight? Huh. Aight.. screw it.
This is what you get for bullying me in high-school, bitch!"
That's when I saw my best friend die... by taking nine to the ribs.

He's gone but not forgotten.
Especially for his will for revenge.
