Unforgivable Act

In a dark street alley of L.A.

I guy saw a young boy kill a man

He stops along his busy way

And stares for he can't understand

He was on his way home to his wife and kid

Carrying a gift for his little girl

But stops and stairs at what this boy did

Like it has stopped the whole world

The boy yells, "Get the fuck up out of my face!"

"Now boy we need to talk."

"This isn't a talking place"

"Well lets just go for a walk"

"I'm telling you man, just let me be"

"Son I think you need some one"

"Why do you want to help me"

"You see killing as a fun"

"The guy asked for it you know"

"And what exactly did he do"

"He was getting the money out to slow"

"And thats what pissed off you"

"You don't understand man I am deep"

"Where is your mom and dad"

"What does that matter, they are creeps"

"Now I don't want to make you mad"

"I just want you to walk away"

"How old are you boy"

"I am 15 okay"

"You should be home playing with a toy"

"I grew up on these streets man"

"Doesn't your mother care what you do"

"She can't take care herself understand"

"So I guess a lot you have been through"

"Well I was took away at three"

"Then how did you get back"

"The cops let my parents free"

"So they committed an illegal act"

"Old man why do you give a fuck"

"Because I want to help you"

"Well you can go ahead and give up"

"I don't want your life to be through"

"What you saying I am going to end up dead"

"Yep thats what I mean"

"Well you need to get something in your head-"

"Or the cops will intervene"

"I have been running from them since I was eight"

"So you grew up in trouble did you?"

"That was my only life fate"

"What in the hell have you been through"

"A lot of shit that you wouldn't know"

"Well why don't you just try"

"Old man your leaving to slow"

"Well I wonder why"

"Damb it, don't get smart with me"

"I just don't understand your choice"

"What in the fuck do you not see"

"There is no need to raise your voice"

"Well my dad abused me and my sis"

"This is a good start"

"He would beat us with his fist"

"That really had to be hard"

"Then he sold my sister for drugs

She cried that whole night

She said they was a bunch of thugs

Told her they would kill her if she would fight"

"Young boy I can help you out you know

We can start your life again

Just come with me and we can go

Try to put this violence to an end"

"I have heard that before

And then I lived in hell"

"Well, I am trying to give you more

And if you don't come I will fail"

"Dude I got a gun right here

And I will put it to use"

"I know that you've made it clear,

But to leave you I refuse"

"God damn it I am not messing around

I will shoot you here and not blink"

"Well then dead I will be found

I wonder what people will think"

"Dude I am not playing with you"

"Then go ahead and shoot me"

"What in the fuck are you trying to do"

"Trying to let your soul free"

"Well you know to much about me!

I got to shoot you now!

I told you to leave me be!

And you stood here I don't know how,"

Now the bullets go from the gun

and the guy falls to the floor

The young boy stops and doesn't run

He sees he could be more

But he refuses to act like he cares

and takes money from the guy

With his gang the story he shares

he breaks down and starts to cry

The guy just wanted to help him out

and he stood looking at the boy

But this teenager didn't think about

how his life could be a joy

They cleaned the body up the next day

and never discovered what went down

The boy decided to keep going his way

Killing and destroying everything around

His whole life an unforgivable act

His whole family getting drug in

He feels his story is an album track

And that time is running thin

He looks at everything as a game

not really caring what goes on with the crew

To him everything is the same

After all the stuff he has been through

Them dark street alleys of L.A.

Many children are being abused

And we just seem to keep looking away

The truth is something we refuse

We are supposed to be a great loving nation

But what really goes on is not so great

And I am running out of patience

All these children in a home of hate
