[Verse 1]
[Em]He
was four[Am]teen years old
[Em]All his life he never left
The [Am]west side (oh)
I walked [E]past him [Em]everyday
[Am]Heading downtown
Always on the go
He was the [E]kind of [Am]guy you
never gave your real name to
So young but still trying to [Em]game you
But what he was [Am]going through

[Verse 2]
I never knew
[Em]It's such a same
[Am]How people change
And I never really knew his name
[Em]But it takes more than[Am] two
to raise a youth
And for that we all did [Em]lose
[Am]Because if one of us had noticed you
How I wish [Em]I was there for [Am]you

[Verse 3]
I was busy filling my own shoes
[Em]All his [Am]life
He heard "You won't
amount to nothing"
Low expectations
In [E]need of [Em]money
Few too many choices
[Am]And no patience
So [Em]what do you [Am]know
For a good cash flow
You can [Em]always sell
It's [Am]easy to fit the role
But when your [Em]living the fast life
He considered [Am]all times a go

[Verse 4]
[Em]It's such a same
[Am]How people change
And I never really knew his name
[Em]But it takes[Am] more than two
to raise a youth
And for that we all [Em]did lose
[Am]Because if one of us had noticed you
How I wish I was [Em]there for [Am]you
I was busy filling my own shoes

[Verse 5]
Is [Em]that how he came [Am]around
For his child he'll know now
'Cause he left him with [Em]bruises
[Am]His words just abusive
The love he didn't show
And [Em]what his boy was [Am]going through
He had never imagined
But when love turns [Em]to hate
It's the worse out of [Am]passion
His son was bold
And by [E]then it was too [Em]late
From his [Am]friend they get console
[Em]Then his hands, his shoes
The life or [Am]death they couldn't hold
[Em]Oh, [Am]two s[Em]econd[Am]s cold
He was [E]fourteen years [Em]old
[Am]Locked up until he's old

[Verse 6]
[E]It's such a [Em]same
[Am]How moments change
And I never really knew his name
[E]But it tak[Am]es more than two
to raise a youth
And for that we all [E]did [Em]lose
[Am]Because if one of us had noticed you
[Em][Am][Em][Am]
[E][Em][Am]
[Em]How [E]I wi[Em]sh[Am][E]
I was there for [Em]you
[Am]I was busy filling my own shoes
