Gross misconduct bullets falling like rain drops
Mosquitoes kissing marinated children 
While in the hood homeless and thugs
Suck on those the things unruly plugs
Crack-cocaine, meth, mary-jane

While some poor person had sought an alm;

Three lanes of solid orange lights, 
As far as I can see down the interstate.
