POWER!
SOME KIDS HAVE IT
other wish for it.
THE ONE WHO PUSHING SOMEONE IN A LOCKER
or the one in the bloody locker,
THE ONE WHO CAN ATTRACT LUST
Or the one who is someone’s concubine,
THE ONE WHO BULLIES TO STAY IN POWER
or the one who fight for just a safe hour,
THE ONE WHO FORCES RESPECT
or the one who just gets decked.
POWER!
THE HAVE,
and the have nots
THE YES,
and the no’s
THE ONE WHO BRINGS THE ALCOHOL,
the one who carries it all like a human pack mule
THE ONE WHO DIES OF A DUI,
or the one who can say bye-bye
THE TIME THAT ISN’T “PLANNED”,
and the time that’s flying colors
THE ONE WHO’LL ALWAYS BE REMBERED
the one who’ll always be envied,
THE ONE WHO’S FUTURE IS MORE OF A CHANCE THAN RUSSIAN ROULETTE
the one who’s sky’s the limit.
POWER!
the one thing I may not have...
or the thing I’ll never get
the voice that’ll never be heard
and the body that’ll be compared to a turd
will still be here
laughing as the king of the mountain.
WHILE THE POWERFUL FLEAS LOOK RAVENOUSLY FOR THEIR NEXT SOURCE OF
POWER!
Dre.C brings the truth and healing a soul.

Being bullied and left out for so many years. See people one day loved so dearly by their peers then crushed like an ant the next day.
