Given Up

Look at my face, battered, BRUISED U say I mean a lot to YOU? How can that BE? It’s hard to SEE Thru these black eyes of mine…… I cain’t COPE I need some DOPE I’m better now since I’ve given up HOPE I just don’t KNOW How I PROVOKE What you do to me…… I crave a PORT My time is SHORT Know what I MEAN? You’re killing ME Please pass the DOPE I still cain’t COPE I’m better now just leave me to CHOKE Cuz I have no sensation nor inclination to do the right thang Written & copyrighted by Tone Jaxson
