City Southern Child
southern child, city born, southern raised, city teen,
destruction of a life dream by the age of thirteen...
thirty-three years later, still fighting to get and stay clean,
summertime high, the year of 1973, the game was learned,
it all changed me.
southern teen, city dreams, city life, money green,
country kool, city slick, new street dreams,
now a country trick.
by the age of 16, by the age of 16, by the age of 16,
running wild was i, and taking money green,
catch me if you can, ya know what i mean.
city slick, country dumb, trying to get over on everyone.
all i wanted was to get me...me !!!
it all caught up though, yeah, now i see.......
down by law, blind, death-struck, and dumb,
un-learned lessons and drama for years to come......
still i used and abused life like a dysfunctional fool,
i couldn't hustle at all, i broke all the street rules.......
the tale of two cities, the life of a fool,
from the city to the south hip, slick and kool.......
headed for self-destruction without a real clue.
city southern child may god change my ways, 4 weeks of 46yrs old,
33yrs and many days, still got hope though, as old as i am,
i shall be delivered, blessed into the changes,
" CAUSE I AM IN GODS HANDS ".
