Lyrics
Jaquime
Baggy Pants, a shaved head
Oh tank top, bandana red
Oh laid back in a macho walk
Jaquime he strolls, he doesn't talk!
Tattoos , blue on his arms
Back of his neck well that's his charm
Fue Manchu on his face
A blue tear shows off his Grace.
Dealing drugs in a parking lot
Deal gone bad, well things got hot
A pistol from its hiding place
Jaquime, shoots a brother in the face.
He escapes in a lowered Chevy
64 blue metal heavy
Stereo on sitting low
Oh, leaning back with a proud glow.
Cursing past the school gym
You can hear, before you see him
Small dark shades hide the pain
He never noticed the tagging had changed!
At a stop light, this had to end
Blacked out windows, Mercedes Benz
Poor Jaquime, living in a dream
Never heard the AK, or the woman scream!
Hardly mentioned in this age
Morning News, last page
A man and son, shot in the head
Forgot to mention, on the wall it said:
Spooky's Dead!, Spooky's Dead! Spooky's Dead!
