Jack 78

You know the difference of right and wrong
You know deep down, in that world you don’t belong

You really need to open your eyes 
Coz where you’re heading ain’t no surprise

To the dizzy heights you have risen
Where the outcome is usually death or prison

Let me whisper to you sis and bro
Coz there’s something you should know

If in the firing line and someone’s taking aim
You should know, from where the bullets came

Look around you and start to realise
Some who call you friend are telling lies

Don’t let those influences corrupt
Their voices negative and so abrupt

You can see what you want to see
You can be what you want to be

You’re at a crossroads with a lot to lose
So it’s time to decide which life to choose
