Once was considered the best basketball player in the nation...but not anymore
Straight A's on a full scholarship to North Carolina...but that was before
Before his Father walked outta his life...Mother found soaked in blood on the floor
Older brother was nothing but a alcholic that had no problem living poor
He loves the rain...When it comes it can sometimes wash away his pain
Needs an exit from it all but his life is on a one way lane
Friends turn their backs...hope they can get a discount on a ticket to fame
I need some money...Remeber me...Im you third cousin....Its all the same
Plus with all this trouble hes becoming a dad
Heres a story of a kids last day....Who lost everything he had
--------------------------
Sitting quietly in his room rather a cell....holding a peice close
Hasnt faced all struggle but the kid has lived most
Newport in his mouth..tastes better knowing this is his last
Inhale...Exhale..Use to doing the scoring so he figures he'll let
time pass
No fear in his face...Suprises most with his nonchalent manner
Once a fan...above his tv hangs a torn Jordan banner
Wish he could see his problem better maybe he needed galsses
Feels that writing will only take time...so his Will contains nothing but ciggarete ashes
Leaves no notes no message behind
Use to wish life was a movie so he could rewind
No music...No sounds actually....Hell not even a vibe
He laughs away thoughts through his head reapetdley as his Newport nears the end
Past couple months he has become his only friend
Flicks the rest into his trash and watchs the smoke from it rise out
Too focused now....Nothing can cry out
Lays back in his broken chair and stares at his dirty walls
Must have been thinking about his peice of shit car the way his mind stalls
For a moment at ease....the birds and the trees
............Fuck It
Figure he will enjoy his last few mintues...Watch his favorite show
"Damn I actually read the credits this time...Definetly time to go"
(Laughs his pain away)
.............Next on VH1 "Where Are They Now"...............
.............BANG...........................
.............Now his girl has a reason to clean the dirty walls.............
