~Dark Roads~
There's a lot that I've done.
There's a lot that I've seen.
Being called a low life by own family
Moms couldn't pay the bills and lights were constantly off so something had to give and dope slanging
Was my only option I knew the consequences for being caught. But I'm not a rat.
So I handled my business like a man. Made some wrong decisions, but please just understand.
My life wasn't full of happiness like yours. My childhood was taken from me so I didn't have a choice.
From the age of 13 until the time i was sixteen, that was I all I knew.
Dark roads was the only direction that I took.
Despite my intelligence, I never had the looks to match.
I was still making money, but I wasn't feeling it anymore. Selling drugs made me feel guilty. I've hurted my loved ones.
March 15th, 2014 was the day my life changed. The day I would find out who were really my true "friends"
I was walking home that night around 2a.m. I had just made over 5 racks and i was feeling good. Me and my friend was just walking talking about our dreams
Then the conversation switched over to the things I did and the things I've seen.
When all of a sudden an all black Sedan pulled down on us. We only had time to see the gun before we struck out running.
Then the shots rang out multiple times as I was dodging the bullets trying to save my life....but
Then I felt pain on my left side and I seen blood pouring, realizing what just happened
But I had to keep running because i was still in danger. Half alive and with nobody to turn to as the next impact entered my right knee and I went down hard
Barely breathing...as I was trying to crawl away determined to get to safety.
As my life flashed before my eyes. Seeing my momma smile. Missing her hugs as I'm slowly fading
The dark roads that I took was my fate. As I heard the sirens and I faded completely.
As my mother lecture echoed in my brain;
"Your so called friends will Never be there for you. Your evil ways will come to an abrupt end. And will it do, you will not head down those dark roads again."
