Cocaine

~By Kelly Weisinger


My name is cocaine.
Call me coke for short.
I enter the country
without a passport.
Ever since then,
I've made lots of scum rich.
Some have been murdered,
and found in a ditch.

I'm more valued the diamonds.
More treasured then gold.
Try me just once,
and you too will be sold.

I'll make a school boy
forget his books.
I'll make a beauty queen
forget her looks.
I'll take a renowed speaker
and make her a bore.
I'll take your mother
and make her a whore.
I'll make a teacher
not want to teach.
I'll make a preacher
not want to preach.

I'll take your rent money
and you'll be evicted.
I'll murder your babies
or they'll be born addicted.
I'll make you rob,steal and kill.
when you're under my power,
you have no will.

Remember my friend,
my name is "Big C".
If you try me once,
you may never be free.
I've destroyed many actors,
politicians and heros.
I've decreased bank accounts
from millions to zero.

Now that you know me,
what will you do?
You'll have to decide,
it's all up to you.
Listen to me please,
please listen well.
When you ride with cocaine,
you're headed straight for hell.
