Poem
This story all started one fateful day My homie named Zack was just tryin to get paid Ran into a friend asked him, "want to get high?" From then he was hooked on his very first line Money started coming in, new whips new fits He ran the dope game like he had a pair of new kicks Things were going good better than he imagined But it never lasts, that's when things start crashin He got a little weight from a mutual acquaintance Little did he know this dude was packin for his payments Zack got burnt on a deal that went south He's runnin out of options tryin to pay back the amount Now he's on the fly left town for a while Came back ballin thinkin he was back in style Thought he was free and clear, that's what he was hopin That round licked off, he should've slept with ONE EYE OPEN! You...never know...when death is gonna come your way You...could be a young man...or you could be old and grey Can't...fight fate...wanna play this game there's a price to pay Sleep with ONE EYE OPEN...cause for some tomorrow never came Mother named Davina had a son named Joseph He's her pride and joy but lived a life not spoken Only 13 with his whole life to live Made a few mistakes but nothing they couldn't forgive He started on his hustle, he was well respected The game always brings pain when you least expect it Started skipping school, grades fell, friends lost The life of the party comes at a great cost Then he met a girl, who made him try to change But she was no good, she started playing games Joe feeds off the lies, and brings the lies home He became a stranger his family didn't know Thought he was invincible until she broke his heart He slipped into the shadows, his whole life fell apart His mom found him hanging from the ceiling, neck broken She's wishin that she would've slept with ONE EYE OPEN! You...never know...when death is gonna come your way You...could be a young man...or you could be old and grey Can't...fight fate...wanna play this game there's a price to pay Sleep with ONE EYE OPEN...cause for some tomorrow never came Lyrical Miracles in the Making...Born Creating Greatness aka Brooks Greenlee
