This Verse

At 5 I was beat down
But it could have been worse
I could have been street down
Or wound up in a hearse
Maybe chasing the heat down
While I yell scream and curse
Now I’ve turned all my heat down
And there’s no need to rehearse
Now I have every beat down
And now I’m singing this verse
I’m even putting my feet down
I can be so adverse
Now I’m chasing the meat down
And even banging a nurse
I never will get cheat down
Or even go into reverse
