Paying the Price
January 5, 2022
Paying the Price
I was walking down the street
But this time not using my feet
They were trying to be discreet
They carried me to the back of the alley
I just wish I could be free
Money is what they demanded
I told them I have children
They didn’t seem to care
They were not being fair
One of them drew a knife
I wish I could’ve said goodbye
For 14 dollars I lost my life
