the one to look out for
The one to look out for.
For a while there I was a dope fiend
a magician of sorts
turning all cash into drugs
loved ones into fools
and the rest of you into pigeons
suckers to be talked out of cash
for services never rendered
promises always broken
deliveries never made.
For a while there I was the one
that forced you to learn
how to hold pocket books
under arms tight against body
not ride subways
walk into dark hallways alone.
For a wile there I was the nightmare
that made the Big Apple the Rotten Apple
the reason for Mom and Dad’s
flight to the suburbs.
Then I found Jesus
and the shit really hit the fan!
For a while there I was the one
you had to look out for.
