One Sip

One sip, You say you took only one sip, But now you’ve got a dip In your judgment and your lip Seems to be running at a pace Saying words you can’t erase And it all started when you took that first sip Because that sip turned into two And two turned into four Until you’re chugging two more Falling to the floor Losing your mind and your meal As you don’t know what to feel And a sensation grows inside Like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde And you feel invincible As you grab the keys and stumble outside To the car your pop bought For his trustworthy son, But now this son’s gonna gun The auto with no control Behind is state patrol But you continue to fly by Eighty, ninety miles and higher Til a black screen emerges And piercing screams converge Til the blood’s spilled all around And your Converse is 3 yards down Til the car’s crumbled in pieces And uncles, mamas, and nieces Come crowding around your body Half-dead, limp and shoddy With little life left in the vehicle That transported the beautiful soul Who had a future death just stole And you missed your opportunity Five days short from standing in unity With your best friends since youth Grabbing a diploma and deucing To the life you once knew But these were all dreams ‘Cause your body lays here Clothing ripped at the seams And your life completely over Ended before it started Started at the first sip And ended with a car flip
