"This Girl"
  by JokerJay


I spent a good wasted youth with this girl
Drinking jack daniels and smoking that green
Everyone thought she was the little slut on the block
But I was the baddest motherfucker that she’d ever seen
And when we grew up I kept my principles…my roots
Her next page was in a whole other story
When I heard she was shootin dope and turnin’ tricks
That fact absolutley fucking floored me
Her life became a living nightmare
And all nightmare long she cried herself awake
Laying on her back with a dead child in her furutre
That outcome would prove too much for her to take
NYC ate her up and spit her out like spinach
She was welcomed into the jungle where she would die
Johns and pimps hit her and called her a no good bitch
And it’s the truth kiddies, that ain’t no lie
She loved the city but the city never loved her back
It gave violating tough love and she blew it a kiss
I hope she finally finds someone to hold her in the rain
And not just shower herw with beer and piss
I’ve got hope for the girl I knew when I was young
I wish I could’ve said I told her so
After she put her hand into something that really stung
