Dopefiend's Diner Lyrics by 2pac

Dopefiend's Diner

Late night coolin with my homies
Drinkin Hennessey and 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 Bar-B-Q

Its just another boring Monday
And theres nothing else to do

Now as we stepped out of the car
I heard someone behind me fighting

So I turned to look and find out
Whats the cause of this excitement

The brother was a dopefiend
And the other was a dopeman

And the dopeman had an AK
Said hell spray and 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 getting shot up

Now I could not walk away
Cause I got caught up in the scene

Wondering, 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 and fight for quarters

While I walked inside the diner
And all the dope fiends waved to me

Heard the sound of several gun shots
And I ran outside to see...

[Chorus - x2]
Another gun shot rings
[Whats going on?]
Another siren rings
[Whats going on?]
Another mother cries
[Whats going on?]
Cause another innocent died
[Whats going 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 would they know

But for me I held concern
I wanted to go see the outcome

Would the mother see her 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 small tear roll down my face

That was daddys bullet
But she took it in his place

[Chorus - x2]

Tried to make my way through the crowd
So I could go help the baby

She could barely speak, but she was spray
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, dying
And I wondered what could I do

The cameraman and newspapers had come
To get their interviews

To them its just a story
And they cant see the tragedy

To them it doesnt matter
Cause it aint and 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

Those people say its crazy
And the poor could have been finer

Ill never forget, never forget the night
At Dopefiends Diner

[Chorus - x2]

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
