V1:
Derek was a young boy
Only 20 years old
His mom died when givin him life
Now he's all alone
His dad left when Derek was still an unborn
He has no home he's all alone
Yo he feels scorned
Torned by what life has dealt him
Didn't know what would help him
Some days he'd cry
Other times he'd wanna die
Suicide filled his mind
Like half the time
But yo he tried to live the best he could
But Derek is livin in a rough neighborhood
He never had friends
He wished to have a brotherhood
Aiyo it would do him no good.
Hook:
He's all alone
He has no home
He's just a young boy
With little joy
He's just livin day by day
He says
"My heart aches" (2x)
V2:
Derek would do anything to be popular
Even if it meant joinin a mafia like group
Yo here's the scoop
He wanted to a gangster troop
So yo he began to shoot
All kinds of drugs into his veins
Ice and cocaine
Affected his brain
And his nervous system
He tries to play the victim
All this cuz he wanted to hang wit them
The wrong crowd
In a shady part of town
He wanted to be down
But all the kid did was unleash the hounds
Hook:
He's all alone
He has no home
He's just a young boy
With little joy
He's just livin day by day
He says
"My heart aches" (2x)
V3:
The police were after him
The dogs at his heel
For real
He felt like this was his last chapter when
He first got the cops attention
When he was dealin drugs
Aiyo lets not forget to mention
Hangin out with thugs
Derek never felt loved
Yo he suffered his downfall cuz the call
Was bugged
Vomit on the rug
Felt like his stomach was bein tugged
In different directions
Yo back to the present
Derek didn't have protection
From the k9 units
Or the officers
Derek wishes he never tried to be popular
So yo he never tried to out best them
Or even test them
He just accepted his fate
As they arrest him
Thinkin about all his transgressions
Made him tear up
But yo cheer up
Cuz Derek did his time
And paid his debt
He now has a job
No longer a slob
He lives life with no regrets
But yo even today
He still remembers what he used to say
Hook:
He's all alone
He has no home
He's just a young boy
With little joy
He's just livin day by day
He says
"My heart aches" (2x)
