[Verse 1]
I was five when it first happened
A normal afternoon, me and my brother riding around laughing
We saw a house that was once abandoned
We just thought it'd be fun, to poke around, maybe steal a basket
This was a day I never would've imagined
We were young, curious kids alone in a mansion
It was dark, but all the sudden I saw lights flashing
A black tahoe, with two men inside who want to kidnap us
Me and Loren split and ran to the roof, the back door was locked
We were forced to run to a room
We on the second story, we heard yelling
I starting gasping
One pulled out a knife, while the other screamed “we gotta catch ‘em!”
My adrenaline shot, I shut the door
“Loren get to the window, we gon' jump from the top!”
I landed second, got our bikes and rode to the cops
What's mom and dad gonna say, once we tell ‘em what we saw
[Chorus]
The lights are low and the robbers coming
The wrong place at the wrong time
Called the neighbors, but nothing of it
Nobody knows how I cope with all it
I tried to save who I lost, I replay it, I was the one who saw it
Its lonely road I'm walking
I wish pain would stop knocking
If hope exists, I lost it
Lord give me strength to fight off this
[Verse 2]
The second time I was the age of seven
Loren's eleven, in hindsight we learned a lesson
We ain't trippin’
Telling each other is was long gone
And its ironic ‘cuz a similar action was ‘bout to kick off
This time another kid was rollin’ with us
Hittin’ jumps on our bikes, all the sudden a storm start to pick up
We ‘bout to dip then I saw a civic
The three of us knew it another event was about to pivot
Yeah
The car was full, all the seats taken, the driver stopped, popped the trunk
I noticed Loren started shaking
I don't get it, how could this happen again?
Loren's friend was a coward, he took off running without a trip
“Chase! There’s 4 guys and a girl in the car with a rag in her mouth
She could've been raped I have to get her out”
And within seconds it was going south
I hate to say it, but I was the only person who got out
I was closest to the car at the moment
My brother got to me first, told me "get on the bike and run homie"
And don't look back, it will slow you down
I broke the pedals ‘cuz I focused on nothing but solely getting out
I dialed 911 "you gotta find me! I don't see him here
Loren said he'd be right behind me!”
But when they arrived they made it official
A dead child was found, down the street, death by a pistol
[Chorus]
The lights are low and the robbers coming
The wrong place at the wrong time
Called the neighbors, but nothing of it
Nobody knows how I cope with all it
I tried to save who I lost, I replay it, I was the one who saw it
Its lonely road I'm walking
I wish pain would stop knocking
If hope exists, I lost it
Lord give me strength to fight off this
[Verse 3]
I wish you were here
I wish I would've stayed with you
I blame myself, I could've fought with you
I'm not the same, we like Proof and Eminem
Losing my best friend, now I'm a brother-less kid
The time is now, I need to move on
I know that you're gone, Jesus Christ called you home
You're in his arms, Loren, but would save me a spot, I'm not ready to die, I need to tell the world who's God
Listen
Take the offer while it's still beside you, you neglect the Son of God, he ain’t embarrassed to leave without you
He gave his life for you, and still alive
Don't lie yourself how the gate of the devil's a fence we try to climb
Hop on the train before it's too late, I'm not here preach, but you got to know there's one way
You don't believe me, that's okay
Just don't do what we did and be at the wrong time and wrong place
