Saved

The guy that talked a chubby boy such as I out of the fear of removing my shirt in the sight of others The one that saved me from the torture of bullying from kids The guy was a saint to me............. o man all the good deeds he did Yes he was a friend Until now where he began selling drugs that didn't help a body but led to its end So we parted , Until times he tried to start a fight in which cases he usually later woke up in a daze Then I'd cleverly exlpain to him that a fight goes both ways He'd get in my face and say I got lucky and next time he'll bust a cap I said "yo ur diaper is full so stop talkin so much crap" But recently he asked me to aid him in his selling And I began telling telling him I want no business in being a dealer He said ok but then threatened me with a nine millimeter I looked at the gun and then at him Then thought of every instance I forgave him for every sin And felt the betrayal of someone i once looked as kin So I looked at him I said and I quote " Never take my kindness to be weak Remember this as a promise not a threat Take this lightly and your maker will be met Remember my name but keep it off your tongue Freddy Francois , man i'm done cause you must be the worst to get me this pissed Your a waste of breathe, your dismissed" And I continued to walk He said ok then cocked his weapon removing the safety I kept my fear to myself and said a swift prayer In preparation for the shot I filled my lungs with air And out of the blue The men in blue then came to my rescue putting a bullet in his hand And the destruction of his nerves accumalated from strand to strand Out of relief i sighed A bit of water drickled slowly from my duct down my eye I looked up to the skies and Did the sign of the cross and I swear I saw a dove pass by You can not begin to feel the slight but still present fear Because he is being released from jail today after half a year This is the truth, the whole story from start to finish But go ahead call me a liar, i dont care Cause all I know My life was saved after I said that prayer and took that deep breath, because November 19 would've been the anniversary of my death
