The dexterity of a gangbanger
A boy adheres to the inner city trouble
in a Texan jungle, him and the glock cuddle
there was a puddle of blood, deemed from his actions
the boy had a passion, to rep his violent faction
recruited into the fire with matches, a young arsonist
spraying flammable mists, around the home of kids
the turning boy was a bad influence, changes were needed
he had killed & sold rocks, he wasn't anywhere decent
the plan not so recent, was to pawn him off on kansas
& as time passed , the boy felt cardiac damage
a let down provoking rampage, twisted his eyes to cry
stripped of his gun & flag, he has to let the set die
no longer gett'n high in the sky, he'll miss his bro's
from seeing fights, all the way down the yellow brick road
his options closed, he'll transition the modes of life
from getting knifed, to here where its a slim chance to die
he randomly appeared in school, like a magic act
innocence just crap, he's a GI Joe to a cabbage patch
no one knew the facts, they overlooked his past
the school year went fast, sadly he had barely passed
yet barely a friend or two, he sure didn't belong
but a place where he'd live long, not hitting the bong
a outsider by default, he just wishes to fit in
one day a group wanted to ball, so they went to grab him
late at night, they cruised thru the park
very dark, they found the court, so they could start
playing free and scoring for the team, he felt the part
the cell phone rang, the others gathered minus the boy
looking from the eyes of vengeance, they used Bball as a decoy
the outsider is in for hell, getting tossed like a simple toy
shouting for help, but nothing in return from his noise
the bullies making racial slurs, and battering maliciously
in the end, he was beaten viscously, 8 fractures to put it statistically
intensive care is where he stayed, for much of the time setting
the family missing him, the mother misses placing his bedding
remembering what he said, "It doesn't matter where I am"
and he wasn't kidding, the outsider is always damned...
Kinda Choppy, but just a quick brush up..
