Before I Self Destruct (love Costs What?) by JigsawKillah(m): 12:47pm On Nov 11, 2015
Just I and Anna
Just weed, no bandana
My room, kampala
My bed, Vahalla

Looking back, I'm lost
Truth is that, my loss
Surpassed what I ever gained
Tell What Love Costs?

What Love Costs? I pray thee, tell me!

Way before my first sex
Way before George's death
Way before Kingsley's sister
Had a bullet in her neck

Way before school became a bore
When truancy is for bullies
When I loved reading to the core
Picturing suit and ties after schooling

Way before I met her
Way before I tasted weed
Wished I never let her
Wished I never watched her bleed

When she cut her wrists
If you love me, take a drag
If you love me, take a sip
If you don't, you can leave

But I loved her, so I stayed
Dragged the weed with her
She had a fanta mixed with codeine
And I sipped with her

I lost conciousness, sleep with her
My innocence taken, get a grip, nigga
She made a thug
Out of a young boy in love

Tell me what love costs. . .

Classes became boring, Truancy became fun
From dreaming of making money a pen to making it with a gun
Principal was my School dad, now I see him and run
It became stealing, drugs and sex from dawn to dawn

All because I was in love
Tell me what love costs?

I'll tell you. . .
It cost me a life!
A future!

Okay. You'll get a mention when its done. I want to make it sound like "I Want". Lots of pun but its spoken word with a cryptic meaning for only a select few to understand. grin
