Mark This Down Mark

MARK THIS DOWN AS BEING TRUE MARK Some people just don’t get the fact that some people just don’t get other people Why, then, does it seem so evident that I get every type of person who exists? I know junkies like me, and I get why they’d steal my wake-up shot And yet people cause harm to other people in the name of I don’t know what and it only persists Some people don’t get some people but that person gets them And they recognize when a person can get played Like that blonde over there searching for an old Sugar Daddy Because apparently 85 year old men still want tol get laid A player can only play a person who’s eye is on the prize So he’s too busy praying to look out for people who’ll play them, like me They’re easy to recognize because they’re at the slot machine for hours They’re a big winner so he or she cashes out, and then I follow, rob him or her and then flee He’s called a “mark” and I’ve known many “marks” even some named Mark I can pick them out of the casino like an old lady can pick out a ripe melon So we junkies and low lives spend all our cash yet still live low on the hog Until we all go to jail and become just another f*****g felon © 2011Phreepoetree ~free cee!~ PRISONER #666666666
