He was fourteen years old All his life he never left The west side (oh) I walked past him everyday Heading downtown Always on the go He was the kind of guy you never gave your real name to So young but still trying to game you But what he was going through I never knew It's such a same How people change And I never really knew his name But it takes more than two to raise a youth And for that we all did lose Because if one of us had noticed you How I wish I was there for you I was busy filling my own shoes All his life He heard "You won't amount to nothing" Low expectations In need of money Few too many choices And no patience So what do you know For a good cash flow You can always sell It's easy to fit the role But when your living the fast life He considered all times a go It's such a same How people change And I never really knew his name But it takes more than two to raise a youth And for that we all did lose Because if one of us had noticed you How I wish I was there for you I was busy filling my own shoes Is that how he came around For his child he'll know now 'Cause he left him with bruises His words just abusive The love he didn't show And what his boy was going through He had never imagined But when love turns to hate It's the worse out of passion His son was bold And by then it was too late From his friend they get console Then his hands, his shoes The life or death they couldn't hold Oh, two seconds cold He was fourteen years old Locked up until he's old It's such a same How moments change And I never really knew his name But it takes more than two to raise a youth And for that we all did lose Because if one of us had noticed you How I wish I was there for you I was busy filling my own shoes
