“I get high on life.”
We all pick a road to take,
It all starts when we wake.
There is an adventure everyday,
Please don’t waste it away.
“I’ll just sell drugs.”
Not all thugs,
Some give hugs.
Some make a life,
Some take a life.
“When you have a bad deal, you have a bad day in drugs.”
When kids don’t have a meal they may become thugs.
Empty stomachs, empty pockets.
Had money but you dropped it.
“She like fell off the face of the Earth.”
Unable to satisfy
Only tried to pacify.
