Playin' For Keeps
Posted: June 20th, 2011, 9:44 pm
My friend, you’re busy puttin’ up a front, a little show,
things you’re sayin’
you don’t know the kind of games you’re playin
These people pick up revolvers
that’s what they consider to be their problem-solvers.
Aren’t you afraid?
These aren’t like the childish games
you once played.
These people are playin’ for keeps.
The word play, I use loosely,
you’ll see.
When the crew that surrounds you
are sent six feet down.
They’re relocated, but not to another town.
Underground, six feet down.
They’ll be sleepin’
but they won’t be countin’ sheeps.
That’s when you’ll know
these people are playin’ for keeps.
I promise you’ll know
the day a stray round
from that HK takes your friend to the ground.
You’ll never forget the day
you stand before a dirt mound.
You’ll look around
and realize…
You’re one man,
one friend down.
