SEND THAT BOY OFF TO DIE
Young
man, can’t you see.
The
road you are taking leads to agony.
Stealing,
killing, robbing,
and
running with your homies
Ain’t
all it’s cracked up to be.
The
man is not going to stand in your way
He
hopes to see you in prison one day
Why
play into his hands
When you have the power to alter his plans?
When you have the power to alter his plans?
There
is more to this thing than meets the eye.
His hidden agenda is to see you die.
Why
do you think so many brothers are on death row?
It
is time someone let you know.
Why
give some else the power to control your destiny.
Can’t
you see the plan and plot of the enemy?
There
are so many things you could be.
Your
life does not have to end tragically.
You,
my brother, are the driver on life’s road.
It
all depends on where you go when you reach the crossroads.
It
is a decision you alone must make
Which
road will you take?
Remember,
some people do not want you to succeed.
They are happy to see you doing some dirty deed.
I
want you to live.
I know you have so much more to give.
If
you don’t want your life to be characterized by defeat,
Be
careful of the company you keep.
I
am tired of seeing young men being sent away
That’s
all I’m trying to say.
If
you do not head what I have said,
You
may be the next one who ends up dead.

I just want to let you know that you have an option. You can control your own life or go
to jail and have someone else control it for you 24/7. It's all up to you.
