lyrics

[Intro]
Run Ricky Run Ricky x4

[Verse 1]
Run Ricky run
I heard [bleep] got a gun
He gon’ aim for your lungs
Cause he came from the slums
Raised by his mum
She was young, He was young
He was touched by a man
So he blames everyone
Call the popo call the popo
That’s a no go
That’s bullet hole
Never sober, off the coco
Cause where he’s from they stay medicated
Just because they’re melanated

[Hook]
My Dear friend,
Will you ever love again?
I know it hurts when we pretend
That your wounds have healed from yesterday
Another goodbye
We’ve been fighting all our lives
But we’ve been on the same side, the whole time
Don’t cry for yesterday
Don’t cry for yesterday

[Verse 2]
He nothing got to lose
But some much prove
He’s a killer he’s a nigga with a attitude
Heard that death comes in threes
Well it came in twos
News reporting live says that he’s an animal
But he’s hurting but he’s hurting
Life is painful
When your afraid to be yourself that shit get Shameful
He lost his brother to another through betrayal
Cause where he’s from they stay aggravated
Just because they’re melanated

[Hook]
My Dear friend,
Will you ever love again?
I know it hurts when we pretend
That your wounds have healed from yesterday
Another goodbye
We’ve been fighting all our lives
But we’ve been on the same side, the whole time
Don’t cry for yesterday
Don’t cry for yesterday
