Street friend dead

Ol’d Joe was friend of mine


We worked the streets


To find


L’fe


 


It’d been


Never mend


Blood dew


 


Kiss off hate


Boot equates


 


Never seen


A single dream


 


Hand reaches for the gun


Pit and hole


Won


 


Alley long


Black train


Takes us


Down


 


Sheriff slick


Front teeth


Missing hick


 


Drive a slave


Gave all


He gave


 


Son run


Bad boy


He got


A


Gun


 


Eyes son dead


Parts to the jungle


Fed


 


Ol’d Joe


Was my friend


cops laid


in dead end


 


gang be thirteen


stretched and skinned


in the hole


nob'dy win


 


chapel late


tattoo skin


death hates


 


old and gray


sawed off


sealed his


fate


 


got there


a tad too late


 


full auto


display


boys knew


I was here to play


 


Revenge it ne'r end


blood lay


pay it send


all to hell

Oh, this is sad! What a troubled life Hoe had. At least now he is in a better place and do not have to worry about waking up in the morning to face another day of turmoil. I hope he is with God now.
