2pac - Dopefiend's Diner lyrics

rate me

Late night coolin' with my homies

Drinkin' Hennessey and cold brew

After smokin', stopped in Oakland

Got the munchies for some soul food

So we stopped to get a bite to eat

At the local Bar-B-Q

It's just another boring Monday

And there's nothing else to do

Now as we stepped out of the car

I heard someone behind me fighting

So I turned to look and find out

What's the cause of this excitement

The brother was a dopefiend

And the other was a dopeman

And the dopeman had an AK

Said he'll spray and he's not jokin'

Well it seems to be the dopefiend

Owed the dopeman for his product

And he swore if he did not pay

He would end up getting shot up

Now I could not walk away

Cause I got caught up in the scene

Wondering, what would happen to this

Poor and helpless fiend

Well my homie Michael Cooley

Said let's go and make our order

What's the use in watchin' two men

Stand out here and fight over quarters

While I walked inside the diner

And all the dope fiends waved to me

Heard the sound of several gun shots

And I ran outside to see...

Another gun shot rings

(What's going on?)

Another siren rings

(What's going on?)

Another mother cries

(What's going on?)

Cause another innocent died

(What's going on?)

All the people in the diner

Ran outside to see the big show

It was just another party

For them to see just who would they know

But for me I held concern

I wanted to go see the outcome

Would the mother have her son tonight

Or would she live her life without one?

I made it to the streets I

Almost cried right on the spot

Not only had the fiend died

But a small girl had been shot

My heart could take no more

I felt a tear roll down my face

That was daddy's bullet

But she took it in his place

Another gun shot rings

(What's going on?)

Another siren rings

(What's going on?)

Another mother cries

(What's going on?)

Cause another innocent died

(What's going on?)

Tried to make my way through the crowd

So I could go help the baby

She could barely speak, but she was spray

Mister can you please save me

So I screamed out someone help me

But I don't think they could hear

And if they did, they didn't care

Oh how I hated everyone there

The baby lie here, dying

And I wondered what could I do

The cameraman and newspapers had come

To get their interviews

To them it's just a story

And they can't see the tragedy

To them it doesn't matter

Cause it ain't and wasn't their family

I don't think I'll be back

Cause it'll never be the same here

So I wipe away the tears

And leave the scene the way I came here

Those people say it's crazy

And the poor could have been finer

I'll never forget, never forget the night

At Dopefiend's Diner

Another gun shot rings

(What's going on?)

Another siren rings

(What's going on?)

Another mother cries

(What's going on?)

Cause another innocent died

(What's going on?)

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do...
