I was ambling down the street one day
When a kid sneered, "Looks like we got some prey."
This neighborhood was filled with drugs.
I said, "I don't deal with thugs."
He picked me up by the collar of my shirt
And I knew this was gonna hurt.
His fist connected with my face.
Undeterred, I said, "You're a big disgrace."
He unleashed a string of cusses
And I ran while he fusses.
My heartbeat quickens.
My stomach sickens.
Adrenaline rushes through my veins,
Weakening these chains.
I live in a world where anger reigns
And only hope remains
And the devil gains
And my heart bottles pains.
