Selfish
"Just because you have that badge
Doesn't mean you are good!
You are the same a**-person who came from the hood.
The hood that me and you used to play!
With the same church me and you used to pray!
So, what's different now?
What makes you great?
Is it that badge on your chest?
That badge stands for FAKE!"
"License and registration.
Do you know why I pulled you over?
Calm down,
I stopped you for speeding.
Like you trying to run away from town.
What's the big rush?
Are you going somewhere important?
With this speed I am doing you a favor,
I am your angel,
A savior.''
"Man stop acting all goody goody.
You break laws too.
What makes you different?
You're a screw."
"I drive around,
preventing deaths across town.
Risking my own life,
So death-rates go down.
That's what makes me different.
Not the badge,
Nor the car,
But my common sense,
Sensing danger from far."
"I, uhh, but, no, umm, didn't...
I don't know what to say,
I see I was foolish.
I'm sorry for unleashing my rein."
"Here is a ticket.
A simple consequence you've earned.
Next time slow down,
Think about others.
Don't be so selfish.
Just cause your mad,
Don't end someone else's life.
That would be sad."
(driver bows head)
"Welcome to reality,
And have a nice day."
