He was raised in a house, where he got scarce attention Twisted, yet methodical mind, not to mention Circus like atmosphere, story book upbringing Neighborhood full of married couples who loved swinging Preacher lived the life, he spent it in the spotlight A teacher was his wife who was stabbed and shot twice They attended a church, where they both were active And a little bit of rope, he gave others attracted He rule with the iron hand, if the meal wasn't hot enough Then he'll swing the frying pan Heavy as the hammer of Thor You know he suffer from the consequences Of broken vowels and law A convicted felon for armed robbery At the time where he had sank into deep poverty Forsaken by his mother and father, Christ achieving the talent He attended the sheet on the path of destruction And these prisons held yesterdays juvenile delinquents Convicts who entered crime, Even before they entered puberty (on the path of Destruction) I dont remember how old I was when I first got in trouble Me? Around nine, nah, six, seven He ended up on the block with kid scooters and ice cream But in and out of foster homes, until he was 19 Stealing for food and didn't do for enjoyment At the time of lay off, shut down and unemployment He moved into a new world, to seek his fortune And suited himself to the times with extortions A hustle that was ruled by men and murder He earned enough for his daily bread and wanted to move further He knew no good, could come from such a sin Had issues as a kid, so he held it all within And he pursued the game so hotly, on a path of destruction Even though the road was rocky Very caught up in his own drive for dominance And to know that he would pay in the end was common sense Some say he had a long deserved death And then he felt relieved when they were told he left These young civilians move to an assault and battery Plus, mortal techniques, breaking and entering, burglary Purse snatching (on the path of destruction) Shoplifting, hand graffiti, crash and stolen property Possessing and distribution of narcotics Illegal possession of weapon, assaulting a police officer Larceny (on the path of destruction)
