This was more then a touch.. he left an impact indescribable…
He knew erything about me.. like he was straight inside of ya…
Couldn’t fool Jerry.. he always knew right from wrong…
If there was a problem.. he’d face it standing strong…
If we could all be an ounce of what he was.. no harm would be done…
I think you get the point.. now here is how the tragedy begun…

Exams had ended.. and we anticipated the weekend eagerly…
Party party party.. nothing but straight up beer for me…
Jerry had found a party.. already knew I was down for it…
The keg was caked.. me and Jerry went out to get more shit…
The night tragically changed.. as we left the liquor store…
Got held up by a stranger.. violence would get hardcore…
Told us to give him our stash.. but Jerry would have that…
Laughed and said ‘fuck off’.. till the cat pulled a gat…
My heart froze.. this shit wasn’t a joke I gave Jerry a nudge…
Told him to hand over the liquor.. but Jerry wouldn’t budge…
Come on man.. Serious was the only mood the moment had…
If he’d just give him the bag.. the ending might not be sad…

The guy grabbed the bag.. turned around and began to run…
But suddenly stopped.. seemed like he wanted to have fun…
Twisted around and grinned.. my thoughts were paralyzed…
Anticipated misfortune.. I couldn’t even blink my eyes…
He pulled the gun out of his pocket.. and then pointed forward…
Aimed the gun at me.. Tried to move but the requests were ignored…
3 Seconds felt like years.. then I heard a bang in my ears…
I’m leveled to the ground.. Bein shot don’t hurt like it appears…
I hear a cough.. next thing I wondered why Jerry was on the ground…
I didn’t have a wound.. then I knew Jerry had pushed me down…

Man you saved my life.. theres no words that can repay you…
I know if it happened again.. this time I would save you…

R.I.P. Jerry Lyles
