Devin's Story

Lighter flickers

Blunt lights up, now the air thicker

Staring at accounts, plotting how to make em bigger

Got an idea but there's always a kicker

He does it so he might aswell sell it?

Got the connects and they know how to mail it

Money tight too, he dont think how bad jail is

Met a few folk now they running up the dough

As they all grow, so does paranoia grow

He dont even know yet his homies is his foes

We all learn one way dont trust a soul

They set em up good, took it all and some more

Emotions ramped up, he put money on they door

Few days later, 2 bodies hit the floor

Karma's a bitch but his judgement was poor

Never got charged but he did catch a case

Not for the bodies but drugs in his place

He and his wife have a girl on the way

Stressed by the thought of not having it raised

His girl will write

I hope you read my letters, I be writing everyday

And Ill put money on yo books, I know you hate the trays

For the baby, please, promise to be safe

30 years what gotta he face

Lawyer and the DA talking how to drop the case

If he say no, he got life in a cage

Love is a drug, he put a pen to the page

Got an anklet in the next couple days

Detectives want to see him so they show up at his place

They tell em they'll find him if he go and do the race

Said he understood so they cutting off the brace

The plugs are his friends, but he snitched in the end

They came to find out and have hittas go sent

He change where he live but they find the 'partment

Pack in the mail, he go home open it

We know where you at, you can run but cant hide

You know that it means its a matter of time

Last hundred bucks, he go cop him a 9

He scared and he's up for 3 days at a time

1 weekend pass by hear a knock at the door

He say a lil prayer then just let the 9 blow

His wife get to screaming, detectives rush in

Red everywhere, body laid 'cross the floor

Notes on the table with 1 clear request

Make sure the baby come out and they lay him to rest

Plugs at the funeral, they make the arrests

And feds give her checks, so she dont gotta stress
