I think it was a Friday on a cold moonless night

little did I know that for my life I would fight

It seemed like any other day as I creased up my khakis

starched up my pano and pulled out my new Nike`s

I called my hina tonight I`m gonna be with the homies

"Please don`t go" is what she told me

I don`t wanna hear that don`t even trip

You know I`m the craziest and I never slip

So I walked out the door to meet my carnales

vatos that I trust for doing jale`s in the calles

loaded the cuete as I concealed it under the seat

Always on my toes in case the enemies creep

Then I heard the cracks of a pistol as I bled

I felt pain on my side and my shirt was painted red

I felt my life leave as my homies panicked

Looking down at me yelling for me just to fight it

[Chorus: repeat 2X]

In the house of pain

I try to knock and nobody hears me

(nobody hears me)

Paramedics all around me So I asked for their help

They didn`t seem to hear me it`s like nothing I ever felt

They yelled for everyone to get back as they shocked me

My body jumped as I laid on the concrete

I could hear my homies screaming for revenge

But now I feel so alone no matter if I got a million friends

They can`t help I want to scream out loud

But no matter how hard I try no sound comes out

Where you taking me as they put a sheet over my face

Don`t leave me overnight in this horrible place

I wanna go home Oh god, My mom

my dad, my bro`s, my daughters and my son

How will they take it let me out, please they need me

Don`t let my family see me

I can`t handle this hurt it`s ripping me inside

All just because I had to ride with too much pride

[Chorus: repeat 2X]

In the house of pain

I try to knock and nobody hears me

(nobody hears me)

The next day my father came to see me

I saw the pain in his eyes as he looked at me

Dad, I`m here I`m sorry for the way I died

he just looked up and began to cry

and then he left "Please don`t go"

It`s like a dream where everything moves slow

Now I`m in a coffin as my family walks to see me

I can`t do this I cry for someone to free me

My homies come up and whisper that they got revenge

They tell my family that they lost a true friend

My mom cries up to god as she holds my hand

Shaking her head like she don`t understand

As they lower me in the dirt my kids scream with tears

Not seeing them grow up is my worst fear

I can`t take it I yell, please let me out

As they put the dirt on my silent shouts

[Chorus: repeat 2X]

In the house of pain

I try to knock and nobody hears me

(nobody hears me)
