it was late that night about a quarter past ten
I’m at my Grandmas house just me and my cousin
we sitting around just bored and doing nothing
so we snuck out and crept out to have a little fun then
I’m on my skateboard he’s on his bike
now he’s towing me down the street up in the middle of the night
now I guess we both knew just what we did it wasn’t right
see we really didn’t care we went a mile and took a right
and at this time there’s no Jesus in my life
I used to cuss used to drink I was nuts I used to fight
then we met up with some kids when we stopped up at the light
then we went up to the store stole some cokes and a sprite
we on the highway and a cop’s driving by
when he slammed up on his brakes that’s the time now when I
turned around to escape through a parking lot to hide
see little did I know that was the night I could’ve died
(one single night one single night night
one single night one single night night)
see I almost got shot by the cops one single night
do you know where you’re gonna go when ya die
(one single night one single night night
one single night one single night night)
see I almost got shot by the cops one single night
do you know where you’re gonna go when its time
by this time see I’m almost to the clearing
the cop said to stop but I really couldn’t hear him
all I did was run and I didn’t even know I was near him
he barely saw me come that’s the reason that I scared him
he had pulled out his gun then fired as I was appearing
it hit me in the chest right then I started feeling
my body going numb and I could feel myself bleeding
now I’m covered in my blood right now this is all im hearing
is my cousin standing over me he’s crying and he’s screaming
the cops holding me plus he’s trying to get me breathing
but it’s getting cold to me and I could feel myself weaken
it getting hard to breathe I can’t even hear him speaking
now my body’s getting weak and I cant see them
will I go to hell cuz God I didn’t need Him
man im only 12 one more chance is what im needing
is this the end now for me will I die this evening like
heres the real facts so listen as I drop em
i got away that night cuz see another kid they caught him
the cop pulled his gun but nah he never shot him
I used to wonder what if they never would’ve got him
I used to think about that night
had I been in the wrong place at the very wrong time
what if that cop would’ve let that bullet fly
what if I would’ve died up at that point up in my life
(what would’ve happened) see I wasn’t living right
the life I was living I wasn’t giving it to Christ
as I’m looking back right now in hindsight
it wasn’t just good luck I didn’t have no nine lives
(it was something more) I got a chance now to find
God could save me and give me peace up in my mind
and then he just changed me when he opened up my eyes
yet I still think back to where I’d be time to time cause I..
