Two lines are few
The words escape
What you do must relate
Take the time, but make quick haste
I see the crimes
Made by times
In cities
That smolder my rhymes
The dust
The trust
The rags
The lust
The addiction
Is a conviction
I must face
As he is my drug
And he says that I am not mugg
But I am his drug
A conviction he must face
A sentence too big to erase
I cannot stand for he makes me weak in my knees
He says I am a tease
But baby please!
Cease the moment as if there is no tomorrow
He chokes me with his words
Slaps me with quotations
Kills me with his expressions
And I lay dying
Helpless and full of lust
I am confined to the rules of society
Held back by the crimes of my people
And my love stolen away by lust
How can we ever be free?
