After a struggle the gun went off piercing Bill's eye and was stuck inside his head.
Bill survived the accident, but lost his eye. The whole story is told in detail in the song "Ever So Clear" and there is also a visualising music video to the song. The song name is a reference to the grain alcohol Everclear he was drinking at the time of the accident. While in hospital, a picture was taken for The Geto Boys' next album "We Can't Be Stopped". On the picture the two other Geto Boys—Willie D and Scarface—push Bill in a gurney down a hospital hall and the blooded swollen eye can clearly be seen.
According to his MySpace page, Bushwick Bill has disowned his gangsta rap past and is now a born-again Christian. He is working on a Christian rap album entitled Testimony of Redemption.
