I WON I WON

ONCE I HAD A SECRET LOVE

DEALING WITH THE DEVIL

WHO IS BOSS?

THE KIDS LAST FIGHT

WHAT INSPIRED ME

GROWING UP

Once there was
a little boy named Danny
Half the day with Mom
 half with Granny
Forget about Dad
If you never see him
 at all you were glad
Grandpa came home a plus
Grandma cooking for all of us
The neighborhood a little rough
Growing up you had to be tough
But none of us kids did drugs
But for a few brainless thugs
Dad was a useless drunk
Old enough got rid of that punk
Gotta get high on cocaine
You idiot what it does to the brain
How do those guys in prison get insane?
One shot and killed four cops the other day
His family cant' figure out how he got that way
Wasn't growing up in a rough neighborhood as a kid
You buy a gun take the drugs flip your lid
Don't blame but yourself for what you did
Guns don't kill but doing drugs can
Guys it is time to wake up take a stand
Say no to Drugs
Stamp out those slugs
