Gangs

Gangs

 

Darkness and light

the ultimate blend of life

the teen years, so hard to make it through

the average days, highs and lows

the struggles and fights

the bongs and the gangs

the knives, the countless lives

the children cry and the brothers;

well they lie

he looked at me wrong

so i blasted him out

he can't look at me now

he's busy fighting fo his life

hold up, hold up

a bad trip, no mate

it's waking life

no need to be high,

i just watched another friend die.

need another story?

my girl, well she cheated on me

now she's pregnant

17 how wll she make it

she only saw one solution

goodbye girl, i miss you

even with what you put me through

i still love you.

my best friend?

he's sat on the inside

drugs and beer he partied all night

the car he crashed

into the crowd he ploughed

yet another goodbye.

lucky to make it through

i don't know

responsibility and trust

parents now with children to love

outlaws roaming the streets

ASBO babies making their mark.

is this the future i have to look forward to?

we'll see, one day i'll look back

thinking maybe it was all a bad dream

sleep with one eye open

and be who i am

and who i am is just me.

A write I can relate to. Violence, drugs and loss all seem to float around the kid from the 'wrong side of the tracks'.
