Ghetto Survival Guide

A short poem/story about another girl.

There's a plastic a*s magician

in a corner and he aint listenin'

to the stories that i tell'em

'bout a girl who's only beggin'

for her life to be back on track

to be off pills and off the smack

shes like all the others

with no father only mothers

dudes quick to f**k but slow to love her

but i giver her refuge like a cover

from the monsters of the cupboard

and protection from the smother

keep in air like a rubber-

balloon, you know theyre inflated

no gear is as big as you make it

dont feel bad shes only mistaken

and in bad times she was taken

by the angry and by force

with love no remorse

and the doors of her mind

are all closed up behind

every person she ever trusted

now she knows they were lying

and for her that crossed the line

now you know that shes dyin'

its a ghetto survival guide

and we aint buyin'
