All the money in the world couldn't save her from herself

All us golden children, we owe her everything

Around on the corner I lost sight of her

Crossed the street, caught up to her, turned around, held her hand, gave her a smoke

She pushed me up against the wall
D#mD#m
She said "I'm sick. Get out the sickness"

"All these underworld officers, shit, they shoot my sons in the street"
