Listen to your loved ones

Stuck on the hopes of new beginnings,
people going out to bet for their winnings.

Having no money to pay for the bills,
all because of their high from the pills.

Seeking a new way to get a thrill from the drugs,
selling their souls to hide from the thugs.

They hope and pray to cover the marks,
wishing they could all hide from the narcs.

Once they get caught and no wish for tomorrow,
they never really think of their families' sorrow.

By the time they do it, it's too late,
they never realize their ultimate fate.

Abusing your body is not the way,
by using drugs, you'll have a price to pay.

A ray of hope and the judge says you're free,
please listen to this stranger's plea.

Drugs are bad can't you see,
listen to your friends and family.
