She'Nyah (Super Kid)
c. '18
Lyrics: L. B. Schwartz, Vlayman
Music: Vlayman

On a sweet summer night on the west side of town.
the family and friends were just hangin',
Just as they'd done since She'Nyah was 4,
She was visitin' her Dad, celebratin'.

"We weren't worried about nobody shooting or nothing," said her aunt,
"We've never had to worry about that."
But everything changed that Thursday night when She'nyah was struck by a bullet in the neck.

A man was hit in the leg, but she was shot in the neck
And they got 'em to Stroger, the man still alive.
But the girl, the sweet little girl on the sidewalk was dead
And how can our children survive?

CH 1:
"And another super kid shot gets shot
They been takin' the best that we got, we got
We try like hell to keep 'em alive,
But how can our children survive?

She'Nyah was funny, loved to dance, straight A's.
And she loved every thing hip-hop.
<radio voice> Chicago police do not believe either victim was the intended target. <radio voice off>
Tell us, y'all when will it stop?
"I just can't believe they took my niece like that, said her aunt,
"She's with family and it's the summertime.
When we come here it's nothin' but love"
And how can our children survive?

CH 2:
"And another super kid shot gets shot
They keep takin' the best that we got, we got
We do our best to raise 'em up right,
And how can our children survive?

She was "smart and real goofy"
This daughter of ours,
Cheerleading and soccer, coulda-shoulda been a star
Battle Creek to Chi-town, with nothin' but love
And how can our children survive?

about

Vlayman Chicago, Illinois

Fat, bald and old - could I be anymo' rock-n-roll?
I play guitar, bass, some keys and percussion, and I try to vocalize. I write and record, and I do so obsessively. Also, I like martoonies, a lot, and I raise my kids, whom I also like, a lot.
Look for me at the TapeOp and TalkBass forums, where I'm vvv, or in various bars in the Loop.
