Hard Part of Town

He stood on the corner. A vision long past. The hard part of town By Division on Mack. What goes around, Will always come back. In the hard part of town, they carry guns with cash. Stan, Bobby, and Lee Three who gambled late. They pushed it all in Big game, High stakes. Bobby knew Stan was a cheater. Saw him make the exchange. Bobby drew his heater. Placed stan in a grave. In the hard part of town No need to explain.

That poem is, as you said. I knew men like that. I grew up not far from Detroit. Murder capital at one time. The hard part of town. I've seen it. It is sad. Have a great Day.
