He lost his girl and that shit hurt
Shot himself in the head and I watched the blood squirt
I dialled 911 while he died in the dirt
Now his best friend is up in that skirt
He was feeling no pain but he had to have more
They found his body cold on the laundry room floor
It was just the day before
That I saw him at the store
I knew homeboy since back when I was four

Handguns and heroin
Shoot it, shoot it, shoot it in
Handguns and heroin
You're killing off too many of my friends

Shootin' handguns and heroin
The devil sits back with his evil grin
Shootin' handguns and heroin
You're killing off too many of my friends

For a minute there you were a gangster mack
Next thing I heard you was found on your back
A few days later we were all dressed in black
I should have kicked your ass when I saw those tracks
It's weird how your gone and we'll never speak again
I hope your not in hell and you're up in heaven
Some junk and some stuff will make the death toll grow
I saw my bro with a name tag around his toe

Handguns and heroin
Shoot it, shoot it, shoot it in
Handguns and heroin
You're killing off too many of my friends

I was born in the west, in the wild, wild west
I'm still kicking up dirt so I must be blessed
To stand the test of time
I want you to know I'm
Not a human being that lives without sin
But I dont gang bang or slam heroin
Cuz I've seen it kill too many of my friends
It's happening too often
Lifting coffin after coffin
Momma forgive him for living a life crazy
He's only so crazy when he's pushing up daisies
Syringe in his hand, forty-five in his waistband
Living in a world that he just can't stand
His brain's in pain, gotta find that vein
The price tag is high when your living in the fast lane
I'm not here to tell you no lies
Everybody cries when your homeboy dies

Handguns and heroin
Shoot it, shoot it, shoot it in
Handguns and heroin
You're killing off too many of my friends

Shootin' handguns and heroin
The devil sits back with his evil grin
Shootin' handguns and heroin
You're killing off too many of my friends

Shootin' handguns and heroin
The devil sits back with his evil grin
Shootin' handguns and heroin
You're killing off too many of my friends
Killing off too many of my friends
You're killing off too many of my friends
You're killing off too many of my friends

Stop!
