[00:35.34]On a muggy night
[00:36.41]
[00:37.05]In the north end in july
[00:38.90]
[00:40.42]A kid named Joseph Beeper Spence
[00:42.69]
[00:43.37]Took a shotgun blast to the back
[00:45.74]And died
[00:46.37]
[00:47.64]There by the cp tracks
[00:49.29]
[00:49.98]Along the great divide you see
[00:52.53]
[00:53.22]Fought two native gangs
[00:55.12]Called the deuce and the i p
[00:58.06]
[01:03.00]Dances with warriors
[01:04.78]
[01:06.16]Hatred between slaves
[01:07.82]
[01:09.40]They kill each other off
[01:11.53]
[01:12.45]We all get saved
[01:14.31]
[01:15.94]I can＇t help but think
[01:18.00]
[01:19.10]His mother＇s tears
[01:20.52]
[01:22.35]Beeper Spence was thirteen
[01:23.97]
[01:25.38]In the northern frontier
[01:28.36]
[01:35.20]A van crossed the bridge that night
[01:37.42]
[01:38.28]And stopped at flora avenue
[01:40.00]
[01:41.52]When Beeper thought
[01:42.79]They＇d lost their way
[01:44.08]
[01:44.69]Walked over to see
[01:46.52]What he could do
[01:47.49]
[01:48.28]＂Are you i p ＂
[01:49.36]＂straight up＂ he＇d say
[01:50.99]
[01:51.51]Even if it wasn＇t true
[01:53.58]
[01:54.37]＂Bust a cap in his ass＂
[01:55.81]
[01:57.64] He turned to run
[01:59.14]Heard the blast
[01:59.96]
[02:00.83]Then he was through
[02:01.78]
[02:07.24]The kids in the van
[02:08.87]
[02:09.41]Weren＇t much older than him
[02:11.79]
[02:13.71]Couldn＇t tell the difference
[02:15.41]
[02:16.58]By the colour of their skin
[02:18.49]
[02:20.29]One thing in common
[02:21.73]
[02:23.39]And one thing was real clear
[02:25.13]
[02:26.73]Their future was ended
[02:28.16]
[02:29.55]In the northern frontier
[02:32.85]
[03:11.73]Dances with warriors
[03:13.28]
[03:14.91]Hatred between slaves
[03:16.20]
[03:18.14]They cut each other
