This song was written and recorded on April 16, 2021. Upon learning more about what happened to Adam, I felt compelled to write something. I decided not to write lyrics before hitting record, so the words were sung as they came to me. RIP Adam.
lyrics
13 year old
made a mistake
in the ally
hanging out late
with reuben roman by his side
shooting guns
in the sky
chicago, illinois
uh-oh here comes
those boys in blue
got some anger issues
to work through
adam i don’t know
where’d your country go
you didn’t deserve no attention
like you got
they say hands up
yo, his hands are up
they say hands up
his hands are up
they still pull the shot
now he’s down
all these motherfuckers
just keep running around
with their guns
in their hands
they got no fucking plan
they just see all the bullseyes
in the streets and then
they go scream
oh my god, you ok
no he aint
and i hear from
my haunt
the bells they will play
and i know
adam toledo
is one in a million
but you went and killed him
