Bad Hombre


Problems, drugs, criminals

YOU are labeled 

with labels that infest your world

and as you search for escape, I will fight with you

Because I love you

 

Rapist

You've been raped you dry for your work

Your dignitiy, shattered 

As you volunteer undercompensated for sloppy-seconds labor 

I will rise against this wall 

Because I love you

 

Wealth

It is going to cost 

I will lose money

There is no pricetag on humanity and love

So, I will let you in

Because I love you
