Last Compton Blood

Yeah, yeah (hmmm, ohhh)

Only one left standing in the cold Compton rain

Dust settled down on the blood on the lane

They called us the Blues,

now the colors are gray My brothers all gone on the very

same day No sirens can drown out the silence I keep

Just ghosts in the alleyways watching me sleep

I hear the footsteps on the concrete track

Nowhere left to run,

no one at my back

(no one left)

Lord forgive the last of the Compton Blues We played the game

but we had to lose

Now I'm walking under the fading stars With the heavy weight of

these battle scars (ooh-ooh)

Two blocks down where we made our stand

Empty shell casings in the palm of my hand They wanted the

turf but they took our soul Left a hollowed-out city and a

bottomless hole I'm the final survivor of a war with no crown

Just a lonely ghost in a boarded-up town

No flags left to wave,

no territory to claim

Just a whisper in the wind of a forgotten name

(forgotten name)

Lord forgive the last of the Compton Blues We played the game

but we had to lose

Now I'm walking under the fading stars With the heavy weight of

these battle scars (ooh-ooh)

Just the Compton Blues...

Only me left... (hmmmm)
