| Before I Self Destruct (love Costs What?) by JigsawKillah(op): 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! |
