I Almost Got Shot Last Night

it was late that night about a quarter past ten

I'm at my Grandmas house just me and my cousin

we sitting around just bored and doing nothing

so we snuck out and crept out to have a little fun then

I'm on my skateboard he's on his bike

now he's towing me down the street up in the middle of the night

now I guess we both knew just what we did it wasn't right

see we really didn't care we went a mile and took a right

and at this time there's no Jesus in my life

I used to cuss used to drink I was nuts I used to fight

then we met up with some kids when we stopped up at the light

then we went up to the store stole some cokes and a sprite

we on the highway and a cop's driving by

when he slammed up on his brakes that's the time now when I

turned around to escape through a parking lot to hide

see little did I know that was the night I could've died

(one single night one single night night

one single night one single night night)

see I almost got shot by the cops one single night

do you know where you're gonna go when ya die

(one single night one single night night

one single night one single night night)

see I almost got shot by the cops one single night

do you know where you're gonna go when its time

by this time see I'm almost to the clearing

the cop said to stop but I really couldn't hear him

all I did was run and I didn't even know I was near him

he barely saw me come that's the reason that I scared him

he had pulled out his gun then fired as I was appearing

it hit me in the chest right then I started feeling

my body going numb and I could feel myself bleeding

now I'm covered in my blood right now this is all im hearing

is my cousin standing over me he's crying and he's screaming

the cops holding me plus he's trying to get me breathing

but it's getting cold to me and I could feel myself weaken

it getting hard to breathe I can't even hear him speaking

now my body's getting weak and I cant see them

will I go to hell cuz God I didn't need Him

man im only 12 one more chance is what im needing

is this the end now for me will I die this evening like

heres the real facts so listen as I drop em

i got away that night cuz see another kid they caught him

the cop pulled his gun but nah he never shot him

I used to wonder what if they never would've got him

I used to think about that night

had I been in the wrong place at the very wrong time

what if that cop would've let that bullet fly

what if I would've died up at that point up in my life

(what would've happened) see I wasn't living right

the life I was living I wasn't giving it to Christ

as I'm looking back right now in hindsight

it wasn't just good luck I didn't have no nine lives

(it was something more) I got a chance now to find

God could save me and give me peace up in my mind

and then he just changed me when he opened up my eyes

yet I still think back to where I'd be time to time cause I..
