Friends Dont Give Up On Friends

Helping someone shouldn't be Thanked with such hostility Meanness and harsh words from you I've been trying these weeks through Getting you to notice that Your heading down a deadly path Doing drugs and joining gangs Showing me your scary fangs That come out each time I try To show you that this kind of life Isn't meant to be taken By someone already shaken From a past of family trouble Being blind that this will double The effect and take a toll Every time you lose control Listening to your fake friends And a life that's just pretend All because you can't erase The worry every single trace Of your family history Is how you were meant to be But there is another way Not to make the same mistakes If you'd just take my advice You could take a happy slice Out of each and every thing That this world offers and brings So take my hand and I will lead You to a path that will succeed Step by step and side by side I will see you shine with pride Leaving the bad far behind Now your friendly and so kind Saying thank you with a smile Even though it took a while To reverse your way of thinking No more violence, drugs or drinking Getting high on life and fun Replaces gangs and deadly guns Now you shine in a good crowd Friends saying how very proud They are with the way you switched Now your life is so enriched
