Pull The Trigga

Aim the gun and pull the trigger, that’s what your new friends in the gang will say;

Because they’ve given up on propriety, and they know no other way!

Most will end up in dark prisons, to spend the rest their years;

For senseless acts of murder, as their parents cry such tears!

He was such a good boy when he was younger, his grades as high could be;

And he played great basketball and football, on the senior varsity!

But something happened four months ago, and his whole life came to change;

He started hangin’ with some shady folks, his priorities they rearranged!

The initiation was very simple, to be an honored member gang;

Snuff the life of just one person; and end it with a bang!

Then you’ll be our eternal Brother, forever one of us;

No one will tell you did it, or throw you to the bus!

And so they took him out one moonless night, a magnum in his hand;

They said, “see that rival gang member, you kill him on demand”!

So he walked up to confront him, the kid smiled and said “hello”;

Then he blew his precious brains out, as his buddies yelled “yo, yo, yo”!

They went home and then they partied, with cocaine, methadone and some ho’s;

They said, ”Brother you’re a man now, we’ve got your ass wherever you’ll go”!

But his party did not last long, for close to where he did his deed;

Surveillance cameras were up and running; that the detectives brought to speed!

The images were perfect; they had him dead to rights;

Two days later one of his homies named him, he was arrested that very night!

Without a leg to stand on, his Attorney copped a plea;

Murder one, without parole, imprisoned for life would he be!

Now in jail he is a big star, the LaBron James of the B’ball courts;

His old coach sometimes will visit, and weeps for this great sport!

He knows he could have been a big star, and rocked the NBA;

But he’s another “good boy” that pulled the trigga’, and blew his life away!
