On a muggy night in the north end in july | |
A kid named Joseph Beeper Spence | |
Took a shotgun blast to the back | |
And died... | |
There by the cp tracks, along the great divide you see | |
Fought two native gangs called the deuce and the i.p. | |
Dances with warriors, hatred between slaves | |
They kill each other off... we all get saved | |
I can't help but think... his mother's tears | |
Beeper Spence was thirteen | |
In the northern frontier | |
A van crossed the bridge that night | |
And stopped at flora avenue | |
When Beeper thought they'd lost their way | |
Walked over to see what he could do | |
"Are you i.p?..." "straight up". he'd say | |
Even if it wasn't true | |
"Bust a cap in his ass" | |
...He turned to run, heard the blast | |
Then he was through | |
The kids in the van weren't much older than him | |
Couldn't tell the difference by the colour of their skin | |
One thing in common, and one thing was real clear | |
Their future was ended in the northern frontier | |
Dances with warriors, hatred between slaves | |
They cut each other down and no one is safe | |
Jeff Giles is cut down in his 22nd year | |
Trying to stop an i.p. robbery | |
in the northern frontier |
