One On One
Men will fight, now that's a fact,
some have friends to watch
their back.
One on one is how it should be,
not two to one, or so on, you see.
I had boys, and I know so well,
sometimes their actions,
will land them in jail.
You try so hard to raise them right,
but boys will be boys, and they will fight.
Posting bond, and questions galore,
why did you do that, they just stared
at the floor.
I'm a believer, in defending yourself,
but it's one on one, and nobody else.
My boys were rowdy, and their fuse
was short, they found out fast, don't
take it to the street, this they learned,
when they had their day in court.
Now they love peace, not rolling on the
ground, I lived through it all, raising two
boys in my town.
