Shadow of Death

I walk with a Crow Above my head I leave it to a Crow To be my eyes Be my protector Through these nights Lets go down the streets Block One Look at the crowd Very loud Surround sounds As I walk with my Crow Next block Very dark No crowd Not loud A couple peeps Nothing neat Nothing clean Look at the trash Plenty cash But not a pretty task If you wanna ask As I walk with my Crow Next block Busy street Pretty clean Has a crowd Gas station or two It's nothing cool Once a bullet comes through Halloween, is everyday Walking these streets You wanna see my eyes Look at my Crow Wanna picture Look up a Crow Look at the picture Look at the eyes Remind you of mine Now! Who wanna make the crime Make a shadow of death Through the eyes of my Crow D.L.V

You've been on PS for a long while, and I'm only discovering you now. This was a very atmospheric & gripping piece. I hope to see something new from you soon enough!
