Revenge is a Cycle


We call it revenge We call it amends We call it making them pay for losing a friend “A life that was lost out of no fault of their own, because an individual thought he was grown.” It was a little situation, something that could have been handled But instead he was shot in the head, then brutally strangled The victim begged, pleaded, and grieved for his life But the only response was dude I caught you doing my wife The last thing I need to hear is you begging and pleading You weren’t thinking about that when you were ruining her weave-in Now you are begging for your life? That’s out of the question I’m going to do you like you did me, you’re going to learn this lesson Now revenge is a cycle what goes around comes around A couple weeks later the shooter was killed Only to find out his shooters were the brothers of Will “A life that was lost out of no fault of their own, because an individual thought he was grown.” The shooter is dead, Will is still gone Revenge is a cycle, who’s the next one

I like the sound it really flows. Revenge is most defiantly a cycle, the real problem is finding a way to end it.
