Trigger went into Dorchester Just to kill O'Keefe He drove up from New York to do What needed to be done No, he did not need the hassles Nor the headaches, or the grief He ran around the housing projects Brandishing a gun But I won't go out like that Only on my own terms, I will Control what I can control 'Til they take this life from me I won't go out like that Never listen, never learn That's what got me this far And it's how it has to be Down by the river, there forever Near the esplanade The river, street, and the prison that were there All shared a name Please remember Trigger did not Kill the prison guard When he could've put a bullet There and then right in his brain But I won't go out like that Only on my own terms, I will Control what I can control 'Til they take this life from me I won't go out like that Never listen, never learn That's what got me this far And it's how it has to be Well then one of them would stare down And other one is only there to guard And you can make a break for freedom And find out this did not have to be this hard The only good news is that Everyone involved this time around gets to go home And when you get there don't forget Wherever he is, he is always all alone And whatever happened to my best friend? They finally tracked him down and they found him You just knew that they'd prevail And then they hooked him up and they dragged him down Justice could be a bitch But if some other killed your brother While you did a stretch in jail Would you just smile and wave politely When the guard just flipped the switch? But I won't go out like that Only on my own terms, I will Control what I can control 'Til they take this life from me I won't go out like that Never listen, never learn That's what got me this far And it's how it has to be That's how it has to be That's how it has to be For now
