These streets {A Memoir}

[K'dOUTinAZ]

Sinking deep in the bullshit
Take the clip and push it
Put the cigarette to my lip
Light this up and hit the street

Too old for a childhood
Look through these jaded eyes of mine
I wouldn't change it if I could
Only a cynic like me would say this was fine

Cutting lines of coke on carboard box
Hidden within the mist of these alleyways
When in danger I run like a fox
Its always easier to hide on rainy days

My only fear of flashing red and blue lights
Everything I gotta do to survive brings them
My gun can protect me from any fight
But not from silver handcuffs

Bringing me down at age sixteen
In this home there is no room for a fiend
So toss me out like morning water
From a broken home to broken bones

Grew to love these streets
More than mother will ever know
The scare of evil eyes and death threats
Gives me a rush like you'll never know

Bodies decayed by the trashcan
Injuries so deep you can't stand
I was on the very edge
Until she grabbed me from the ledge

Blind to everything she opened my eyes
To the streets I say goodbye
But if I ever take another fall
You'll know where to find me

~Dedicated to the streets of Phoenix Arizona~
