Chris
Deemed heinous by the state
Forever this shall stay on your slate
How does it feel?
Everyone you proclaimed was “real”
has left you all alone
They’re not going to call, stop waiting by the phone
Come on kid, wake from your fantasy
So you can see that all that’s left is family
You’re 18 had your whole life ahead
But you were too worried about your “street cred”
Take a look around
For the next 25 this’ll be your safe and sound
Ruined your chances of becoming something great
But maybe you can turn it all around in this six by eight.
