Poem
She was a bundle of fear walking down the street With the memory of yesterday sill fresh in her feet She remembers her Mother begging her one day Sweetheart, Please don't let the life carry you away The whole world awaited so she took a chance Lost so deeply in the fire of his cold romance Tonight you'll find her back out on the street Somebody's daughter is now somebody's meat Turning tricks for a fix a simple solution Filling her soul up with pollution Sometimes in the life miracles are found As somebody's daughter walks through the town After walking all night she was tired and sore As somebody's daughter knocks on the door Her dad opens the door with the biggest of grins Wraps her up in his arms and welcomes her in He promised her later they would talk for awhile As he tucks her to bed with a big smile He looked at his baby with a tear in his eye Went back to his room and proceeded to get high See for her daddies habit she had to hoe Thats what addiction does to the soul Next day she found him dead in his room Right there beside him, his needle and spoon Her mother took her home the very next day No more of her soul will she have to pay Trading death for freedom a simple solution As hell gets offered a little more pollution © 2007 Michael Jordan All Rights Reserved
