A Learning Resource for Mental Illness Gun Violence by BBKO Lyrics
[Verse 1: BBKO]
From the streets of Lynn
He's so misunderstood
No matter how hard he tries, he could not do himself any good
Hoop dreams, you know he would if he could
My dog is so 5'8"
For him that's up to debate
Grab the backwoods, we in the backwoods burning firewood
Fuck, I seen you in my dreams
Til' this day still wondering what it means
You was tight as fuck
Ready to fuck me up
Hand and the fist a ball
I'm standing there so appalled
That's twice now
I think it was me feeling guilty about not writing to you sooner
You prolly thinking damn, "I thought we was cooler."
I promise you we are
It just took me some time to get my thoughts out bar for bar
I hope it's up to par
I'm working on my form everyday
Teeing up every song
To me you did no wrong
[Chorus: BBKO]
That's mental illness
And gun violence
This is learning resource
Sirens like violins
[Verse 2: BBKO]
I hope you get better brother
Cause mental illness is underestimated
Not often translated into something you can relate
But often debated
Like who's your top 5 ball players
What some say might be true
But for me top 5 is you (you you)
I remember those days
At the Boys club gym
We got away from the city of Sin
D'evils of Lynn
Saint Mary, Hail Mary
Hallelujah, or Halle Berry
What the fuck is going on?
Why the fuck you carry that?
I know this a long shot
But please, bring my brother back
[Chorus: BBKO]
That's mental illness
And gun violence
This is a learning resource
Sirens like violins
[Refrain: BBKO]
We grew accustomed to this song
We pray for the day we get better
And hope it starts with this letter
[Outro]

Officers allegedly found (static) holding the young woman down on a recliner with a gun pointed at her head
Police chased the suspect through a back alley
Before handcuffing him, he reported yelled to officers quote
