Toxic

You told me we were friends forever
That's why we always stuck together
You were stronger and better
But now you fragile as a feather
We were a legend, like a parable
Your jokes were hysterical
Seeing you fade away was unbearable
Drugs destroyed you, it was terrible
You thought you could take it
I knew you you wouldn't make it
Smoked a blunt and you were faded
Popped and drank and you were wasted
We were meant to coexist
Not be in this plot twist
When Death gave you a kiss
Your life was dismissed
I hope ya'll are paying attention
For if there's something I should mention
If you're in juvenile detention
Then you should learn your lesson
As long as your off the streets
Staying out of the heat
You can avoid the drug retreat
And not get hacked up like meat
If you have a similar situation
Don't get stuck in hesitation
Send that friend to rehabilitation
Give them a chance to fix their reputation
Saving a life is not a mission to abort
There's so much help now, so find a resource
Every life matters so help them find the right door
Having your friend back is the greatest reward
I knew another guy who had another type of trouble
He was a little crazy and was always very subtle
Then he found a gang, who took him in like a funnel
Next thing you know, he was in a concrete jungle
They took him in because he was full of hostility
At first it was a gamble full of probability
If they didn't, he might be killed; it was a possibility
So he said "I'll join as long as you can deal with me"
Unlike the other story, he wasn't into drugs
In other words, he was a hot headed thug
But one day, he got shot and killed when he was mugged
Now he has a grave, and he's buried under the mud
The amount of drama his death created
Was completely underestimated
His parents were devastated
As dreadfulness invaded
Parents, if you can relate
Then keep your kids safe
Act now before it's too late
Or this could be their fate
Now I ain't gotta rehearse this
Rap has lost all its purpose
Drugs will make you feel worthless
Want respect, you gotta earn it
Speaking of rap and respect
The rap game needs a reality check
When rappers fall are we next
Know our roots and where we went
Whatever we do, God will help us achieve
He will supply us and prepare what we need
As long as you have faith in what you believe
One day rap will be fixed; it's a sigh of relief
