Ghosts of the Sidewalk
picture the spirit of a baby outline in chalk
missing his first words and never had a chance to talk
listen to his cry calling for mama
unable to save him so he dies facing drama
why god why is her only replied hearing no answer so tears contiune to fall from her eyes
hate to walk down her own street
there lies her baby rest in peace
hoping she can be strong
only to hear the spirit saying mama hold on you did nothing wrong
ghosts of the sidewalk
listen to the soul talk
picture the shells of an innocent victim
the shells telling the victim why they pick him
my owner was broke and afraid
thought life was a joke and begging for the grave
afraid of change plus couldn't handle the pain
his passion was flirting wit death and blood stains
forgive me for striking you
pardon me cause i could have jam so he couldn't kill you
instead i took your precious life
sorry only if i can make it right
ghosts of the sidewalk
listen to the soul talk
picture the thoughts of crack
thinking why i get sold in packs
why do i have people falling apart
innocent kids watching their families being torn apart
why do i make them steal,rob or even worst kill
is it the fix or that two minutes hit
could it be my thrill
is it the mix or do they love my glass dick
whatever it maybe please somebody destroy me
i cant take no more ghosts of the street calling me
ghosts of the sidewalk
listen to the soul talk
