PROLOGUE:-
IN THE HEART OF A SLUM
A BABY IS BORN
TO THIS EARTH HE HAS COME 
ON A HOT SUMMER MORN
DRUNKEN DAD, MALICIOUS MOM
WHAT A WARM WELCOME
FOR THE NEW BORN ONE

GROWING UP DAYS
SOON PASSED IN A HAZE
OF AARACK AND GRASS
WITH LANGUAGE MOST CRASS

STORY:-
NO LOVE, NO ROMANCE
NO MERCY, NO CHANCE
THAT WAS THE LIFE PLAN
OF THIS DARK, DANGEROUS MAN

FOR MONEY AND FAME
HE PLAYED THE WRONG GAME
STABBIN' AND SHOOTIN'
KIDNAPPIN' AND LOOTIN'

ONE NIGHT IN THE FOG
HE WAS SHOT DOWN LIKE A DOG
GUNNED IN THE CHEST
BY A COP WITH A QUEST

AS HIS LIFE'S BLOOD
SPEWED OUT IN A FLOOD
HE PULLED OUT HIS GUN...
NOWHERE TO HIDE... TOO LATE TO RUN

EPILOGUE:-
THE YOUNG COP SHOT HIM TIME AND AGAIN
HE DROPPED HIS WEAPON WRITHING IN PAIN
IN HIS MIND'S EYE FLASHED BY HIS YOUNG YEARS
THE FRIGHT,THE FLAYINGS, THE TRAUMA, THE TEARS

FOR THE LAST TIME HE ENTREATED
THE GOOD GOD ABOVE
"LORD WHY WAS I CHEATED 
OF A WORLD FILLED WITH LOVE..."
