♪ 我和德雷曾和他坐下来 ♪

♪ 聊天并和他 - 聊了聊 ♪

♪ 并请求他 - 不要开始这场争斗 ♪

♪ 他本来不会去找他 ♪

♪ 直到Ja在 - 杂志上开始喋喋不休，讲他如何刺伤他 ♪

♪ 而50打了他，狠狠地让他尝尝 ♪

♪ 与此同时，我的意图 - 把我拉向其他方向 ♪

♪ 一些接待员 - 说消息来源 ♪

♪ 在他的 - 办公桌上接电话的人对我有一种执念 ♪

♪ 并让他们知道 - 这有多重要 ♪

♪ 在我们的角落里有Runyon Avenue - 士兵 ♪

♪ 他们对我们的忠诚 - 比任何奖项都更有价值 ♪

♪ 但我不想让 - 我的任何人受伤 ♪

♪ 或被谋杀，这 - 不值得 ♪

♪ 我想不出一个 - 更完美的表达方式 ♪

♪ 只好说 - 我爱你们 ♪

♪ 太多了，无法看到结果 ♪

♪ 我会从这一切中走开 ♪
