INDEX THEBOYKOS

You were bad from the start
Least that's what your mama said
And your father, well, who knows
He never could be understood

So you followed your prophecy
Hanging with that wrong crowd
Not knowing which side of the tracks
You should be standing on

Then it all came to a head
You were the unstoppable force
Slammed into that brick wall
Too much too easy didn't last

So you try to turn your life around
Get your feet back under you
You turn it around 360 degrees
Can't figure why nothing changes

Now you're trying to find the answers
To the questions you can't find
You say you're trapped in your destiny
And nothing will ever change

I know it ain't my business
I know you don't want to hear
But the truth, it isn't out there
Your answers, they lie within

Written March 13, 1998.

Another poem written from the base of a few lines:
You were bad from the start
Least that's what your mama said
