West not “West”

I walk out the door at 3 in the afternoon
The smell of gun smoke and weed filled the air
Police drive by and just stare
I see my neighbor he says hey
Then we walk our separate ways
All I can think about is
(hope I survive through the day)

i walk outside at 3 in the afternoon
The smell of weed from my neighbors
i don’t see the smoke but i know its them
Cops roll by and i say hi
i see the BOY next door look at me
The color of his skin infuriates me
i cant let my inner thought take over so all i do is say hey
Then we go our separate ways

I walk down the block
3:20 on the clock
Something told me to turn around
But that cop had to do a routine stop
I did nothing wrong
Had nothing but my phone
But by 3:27 I was gone

i walk down the street
Take a left i saw that BOY again
But with a cop, their he was
Holding his gun in his hoodie pouch
No hesitation the good cop shot
My inner thought said
He should’ve stayed at home this whole situation
could have been stopped
