White Girl

I took a ride with a White Girl with no regards to life. 
Never once considered I was a mother and a wife. 

She took me down a dead end and when she got me there
She took every penny to my name without a single care.

She robbed me of my dignity and independence too. 
Almost took my way of life. There was nothing I could do. 

Before I could turn around she dropped me on my face
Then I knew it was time to put her in her place. 

I told her with an attitude, "THIS IS WHERE YOU GET OUT"
And God stepped in to help since that's what He's about. 

I'm here today to tell you if you need to "numb the pain"
Talk to God,  don't take a ride with a white girl called Cocaine.

“ And God stepped in to help since that's what He's about” ~ Indeed! Without Gods help, we cannot take a breath, leave alone de-addict.
