Dopefiend's Diner - 2Pac Late night coolin' with my homies Drinkin' Hennessey an' cold brew After smokin' stopped in Oakland Got the munchies for some soul food, So we stopped to get a bite to eat At the local barbecue It's just another borin' Monday An' there's nothin' else to do, Now as we stepped out of the car I heard someone behind me fightin' So I turned to look and find out What's the cause of this excitement, One brother was a dopefiend And the other was a dopeman And the dopeman had a AK Said he'll spray an' he's not jokin', Well, it seems to be the dopefiend Owed the dopeman for his product And he swore if he did not pay He would end up gettin' shot up, Now I could not walk away 'Cause I got caught up in the scene Wonderin' what would happen To this poor and helpless fiend, Well, my homie Michael Cooley Said let's go and make our order What's the use in watchin' two men Stand out here fight over quarters, Well, I walked inside the diner And all the dopefiends waved to me Heard the sound of several gunshots And I ran outside to see,(What's goin' on?) Another gunshot rings (What's goin' on?) Another siren rings (What's goin' on?) Another mother cries (What's goin' on?) 'Cause another innocent dies (What's goin' on?),(What's goin' on?) Another gunshot rings (What's goin' on?) Another siren rings (What's goin' on?) Another mother cries (What's goin' on?) 'Cause another innocent dies (What's goin' on?),All the people in the diner Ran outside to see the big show It was just another party For them to see just who they would know,But for me I held concern I wanted to go see the outcome Would a mother have a son tonight Or would she live her life without one?,I made it to the streets I almost cried right on the spot Not only had the fiend died But a small girl had been shot,My heart could take no more I felt a tear roll down my face That was daddy's bullet But she took it in his place,(What's goin' on?) Another gunshot rings (What's goin' on?) Another siren rings (What's goin' on?) Another mother cries (What's goin' on?) 'Cause another innocent dies (What's goin' on?),(What's goin' on?) Another gunshot rings (What's goin' on?) Another siren rings (What's goin' on?) Another mother cries (What's goin' on?) 'Cause another innocent dies (What's goin' on?),Tried to make way through the crowd So I could go help the baby She could barely speak but she whispered "Mister, can you please save me?",So I screamed out, "Someone help me" But I don't think they could hear And if they did they didn't care Oh, how I hated everyone there,The baby lie here dyin' And I wondered what could I do The cameraman and newspapers Had come to get their interviews,To them it's just story And they can't see the tragedy To them it doesn't matter 'Cause hey, it wasn't their family,I don't think I'll be back 'Cause it'll never be the same here So I wipe away the tears And leave the scene the way I came here,Though some people say it's crazy And the food could have been finer I'll never forget Never forget the night at Dopefiend's Diner,(What's goin' on?)
