Street Grime
Travel through my mind
maybe you will find
the real me through time
all I have in this life of mine
is my family and a rhyme
one day we hope to shine
hope we will be doing fine
another day passes we look behind
realize how long we have been on the grind
from selling weed one of a kind
just to relax the mind
homies selling crack on the corner
just to end up in a box made of pine
looking up asking god to show a sign
when they look up they see a street light
when they look down they see a line
but it just keeps playing in rewind
we are all walking blind
in this life this life of mine
or this life of yours
it gets scary R.L. Stein
close calls send chills down your spine
so pour up a glass of wine
of holy grapes picked from a purple vine
I am almost ten out of ten like half past nine
or like a tarnished dime
full of grime and slime
once you clean it up you will see the prime
the reason why
and the way I shine
and that I am doing fine! -TA
