A Ill Perception

in heaven streets are paved with gold so these streets must be hell

cause they're paved with shells dead men tell no tales

of how they got slain

intense screams of pain 

lives thrown away can't return like boomerangs

when crack came it took the status quo and flipped it
 
made broke men to rich men and rich men welfare recipients
