Selling
There he stands
On that corner that he mans,
Selling some dope
To all those young folk,
Standing there all day,
He never learned to play,
Moving to the cities
He learned no pity,
In the harshness of life,
He felt the knife,
Getting no sympathy
So he knows no empathy,
Skipped school,
Thought he was so cool
Staying under the radar,
Sneaking like a predator
Buying from his peeps
Hoping that no one would leak,
Just one confession
Would lead to an obsession
With just one ounce
High whenever it counts
Forgetting about his family,
Losing all his dignity
Caught in this scandal,
Just trying to land a little
Trying to get some money in his pocket
Never thought he'd got it
Lying to get some dope,
Trapped in this kaleidoscope,
He's never going anywhere,
Thought he was going somewhere,
But now there's only a broken dream
That he can't fix at any means
