Living a Pipe Dream
A living tree has been planted to symbolize a life which has taken snuffed out, slained
in his prime.Detectives haven't solved the crime.Future basketball star where are you now
heaven or purgatory.Your soul needs to rest,shooting hoops,doing lay-ups sweating,running
passing stop,go dribble,dribble,stop! screech, halt!. Running the back streets on the
late night tip trying to survive on the wrong side of town, travel, stop, play offense
is weaken only to live a hyped pipe dream,his defense is down and he knows they have
come to gun him down so he decided to run to the other side of town.Do what it takes to
become a superstar on to lose his soul. Everyone asked was he in the dope game no one
really knows living lies that didn't get him far only to live a false pipe dream. Was
he playing the role of a double life to eventually be "X" out of the game no one really
knows his soul still lingers in death park. Listen it is late, it is dark neighbors
continue to mourn the ball player's lost.Neighbors can still hear the basketball hitting
the back board in death park.
