Everyone Knows

 Everybody knows that

Everyone knows

Everybody rolls and gives it up

When caught up

Once they got your back up

Get you in that little room

And the DA dangles them little deals

And everybody knows that

Your bond ain't worth jack

Your girl ain't covering up squat

Brothers no longer

Employers don't bother

Everybody knows that

Everyone just knows

You're on your own

When caught up

Once they got your back up

Nailed against that wall

In that little room

Everyone rolls and gives it up

But keep your mouth shut

And dont sweat it much

The deals are all rotten

Anyways

And maybe you not squawkin'

Will get you solace some day

Or peace or reward

And not shived in the back

Anyways

When they got ya

Caught ya

Back against it

They got ya

Everyone knows

Dark Web of Lies

The dark web of lies

You weave into our lives

Leaves me with chills and means to protest

However your remaining qualities

Kindle enough fire

Foment such desire

As to counter such acts

Keeps me chained to you

Enthralled by you

I can stare into your eyes

And never tell truth from lies

So many lies dancing

In those beautiful grey eyes

Your smile large and everlasting

Lips freely beckoning

All my armour multi-layered and cumbersome

You pierce with a flutter of eyelash

Enough to make the system crash

You so adept at unrevealing

All your secrets truths and fears

Anything except your glorious body

Which you readily aim

In my direction

Your eyes so dismayingly bright

Your tongue so pretty as you

Spin half truths from your

Dark web of lies
