[Intro]
MyGuyMars
This is the story of a young man who made some bad decisions
Now, in life, we all make bad decisions
This is one to grow on

[Verse 1]
One in a million or is it two of a kind?
Three blind mice, twice or four after five
Makeshift take six, put him in line
Seven after six, Ten-Eight, no nines
Eleven shots double-barreled, front page

Twelve was his age and the size of his gauge
It’s been thirteen days
D.A tryna stretch him out in fourteen ways
Man, this s*it is like a maze (Mhm)
Baby boy brought joy and plenty pain
And fifteen years, that’s what they gave him
But that ain’t how his mama raised him
Now hе’s sitting in his cell, that s*it driving him crazy
I tried to tell him, but hе didn’t listen
S*it gets hot up in the Cripping kitchen
So make sure when you slide body
Seventeen rules for you fools to abide by

[Chorus]
In the heat of the moment
The homie, he lost his head
Lost his mind
Seventeen rules for you fools to abide by
In the heat of the moment
The homie, he lost his head, lost his mind
Seventeen rules for you fools to abide by

[Verse 2]
Eighteen years old, no chance of parole
Nineteen homies in the RICO when they all told

It’s a hot summer outside, but it get cold
Suit up and boot up, n!gga, better heel-toe
Twenty-two years, it appears he gon’ heal slow
2100 stopped out with a steel toe
Tripping, caught his ass slipping with the elbow
Will he get another visit? Baby said, “Hell no”
Don’t wanna bother moms, don’t wanna worry me
Thirty days later, cuh fresh out the infirmary
Sticking n!ggas left and right on site
What happened to the little homie? Cuh, he got life
When he get out, if he get out
A vicious cycle but that’s how life go
If you’re breathing, you achieving
Stop following and start leading
Before you begging and pleading

[Chorus]
In the heat of the moment
The homie, he lost his head
Lost his mind
Seventeen rules for you fools to abide by
In the heat of the moment (The heat, yeah, yeah, oh, oh)
The homie, he lost his head, lost his mind
Seventeen rules for you fools to abide by

[Outro]
Mm
Life, life
Life, life
