Dopeboy Plan

When the boy was young
And streets were strong
Pullin him in the wrong direction
He sang to the beat
Of a gangster song
For affection and protection
Songs lyrics sent a message
Not up to par
To guide a young mans life
Instead the topic
Was money and cars
And streets filled with strife
His mamas words
Don't mean a thing
When she says
What glitters ain't gold
While the dope man flashes
Money and cars
From dope that he had sold
While his friends at school
Are selling to
And braggin of what they've spent
His mothers workin
Day and night
Just to pay her rent
At age 16
He took a risk
To follow a dopemans plan
He jumped a game
That has no rules
As he felt he was a man
He stacked his chips
And went down town
For a kilo of some yay
When he turned his back
They pulled a mack
And blew that boy away
