Wake Up and Die

Death and destruction, evil and hate,
Its not a horror movie, it’s the great debate.
Doing dope or not , such a simple quest
Vary simple in theory, just give it a rest.

But as easy as it is and simple as it seems, 
There is no easy solution , just a vary nice dream 
It starts all innocent but it leads to death, 
Weather you start with pot or go straight to meth.

There are all kinds of decisions that you have to make,
Watch your back, think real hard,  to which road you will take.

You can always change to truth and never lie, 
If you look at drugs, as a sentence to die!
Trust no one, stay sober, its easy you see
Be strong, stay truthful, just livings the key!

You can take life or death, say good buy, or just stay
the option you have , your choice for today,
you need to be clean and really take control, and give thanks to the life
that you know you stole.

For me I am living , ill be seeing you soon, always 
Reach for the stars, but hope for the moon, 
For it’s a little to late, and a lot more at stake
When you close the casket, and leave the wake.

Institutionalized

The suffering, and pain and the horror stories to tell
From the throws of brimstone to the fires of hell,
I’ve walked through garbage, I have seen real pain
I’ve taken the walk down memory lane.

Evil people, hard people, who like to take life
Memories so real they cut like a knife
And jails, prisons, and institutions insane
From having guns to selling cocaine!

And deep in their world there’s always a cot,
They lock you away, and leave you to rot.
So fight the system my friends, its needed 
For life, otherwise just give up, and take on the strife.

So ill leave you my constituents with one final thought,
Fight through all the bull shit, that this system 
Has brought!
