A story of a friend who watched it all slip away.

I seems like yesterday

I remember when he first moved down here from Virginia. A cool cat with a little southern accent we were boys, best friends, like peas in a pod. I Introduced him to Pennsylvania city life but I was never one for the petty stuff that brings people down, he watched it and admired it and thats when I started watching.

I watched your Mother tell you wouldnt be anything

I watched the lack of support whenever we would sing

I watched you listen to, the dealer on the street

I watched as kids citicized, the shoes on your feet

I watched you have a child, at a very young age

I watched as child support got you locked in a cage

I watched your woman, go cheat behind your back

I watched you blame society, for cutting you no slack

I watched you use drugs to take away the Pain

I watched as lifes pressures, drove you insane

I watched YOU, and when I offered you help

I watched you seek guidance from somebody else

I decide not to watch you

Because it hurts to watch you choose

I watched as he was influenced

And convinced that he would loose.

I watched
