TRAP

GROWING UP IN THE FAST TRACK TO NO WHERE

TRAP                6-3-96

 

IN THE EYES OF THOSE WHO HAVE DIED.

MAY WE THINK THAT THEY NEVER LIED.

 

LEAVING ALL THE LOVE THAT WAS.

KNOWING THAT THE GUILDING ANGELS CAME FROM UP ABOVE.

 

DID YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE ONE,

SPARKLING BRILLIANT ARE NEVER DONE.

 

CAN`T WAIT TO GO BACK HOME.

WAKE UP TO YOUR DEFECT.

CAUSE THEIR ISN`T ANYBODY ELSE TO MEET.

 

SO IT`S OVER.

AND I CAN`T HANG OUT IN THE HOOD.

BROTHERS DON`T WANT TO KNOW EACH OTHER LIKE WE SHOULD.

 

BORN TO CRY.

BORN TO DIE.

 

IN ORDER TO LIVE.

COULD WE HAVE FUN.

THEN ONE DAY GET A GUN.

 

WAKING UP IN THE MORNING LIKE YOU HAD WON.

25 TO LIFE YOU`RE DONE.

THANK YOU FOR THE REVEIW. ALL OF MY FREINDS ARE GONE EXCEPT FOR A HAND FULL. FROM 1960 TILL NOW YOU KNOW WHERE EVERYBODY IS WHO MADE THE BAD CHOICE. THANK YOU AGAIN

This is very powerful. It reminds me of a lot of people I went to high school with and where they've ended up.
