Tribute>bonnie and Clyde

they met when she was ripe
fair to say he made her his wife

she fell head over heals in love
and the rest was what it was

they took on the world together
causing chaos for the rest to wether

she was the woman of the hour
he was the man with all the power

they welcomed a few into their crew
but the loyality wasnt always very true

from robberies to murders to car jacking and shooting
this duo did it all and received quite a viewing

they lived by a motto called ride or die
ironically thats what happened set up by that guy

bullets riddled their car they never had a chance
together in some secret place their souls still dance

i respect the way they stuck by eachother
neither cheated or had other lovers

they hustled to eat and put shoes on their feet
only they sought out the street and killed police

noone understood the life they lived
unless you came from the background they did

you love puppets and fairytales
they loved smoking guns and breaking deals

a cute couple they were in different ways
alone they lie in different graves

some think they deserve what they got
i personally wish they should of never got caught

loyality goes to what extent
by snitching to the cops on his friends the rules he bent

its a bonnie and clyde thang and yes its cool
sometimes its the OUTLAWS that rule!!!!!!!!!

to bonnie and clyde 
ride or die

They were criminals still. America loves to romanticize criminals. Betrayal is still betrayal and when friend selll out on their friends, they ain't worth dip. Good write. If I ever get the urge, you can ride shotgun. Vince
