Miguelito

It starts in black
Pan the cam a bit back
Blinding light
A child is born to this world
With a fight

Miguelito
Ojos claro y mulatico
Convulsing siezures
Cause his mother is hooked on perico

Awarded this fate
To be a ward of the state
Group homes and police
Could never replace all the hate

Childhood is a dream
In this nightmare
Moms crying again
Can't find a man that'll care

October 27th, 2005
Was the last day that he felt alive
Those times when the sun still shone
Roses would grow
He didn't care if his daddy was gone
No time for the phone

Going to shows, powdered his nose
Smoking bones on the low
211s funding the freak show

Just a wayward teen
Very little means
So his dreams were
Clouded by schemes
Really just lost in a scene

It's was the music
Belonging with friends
The only thing to keep my dog
From ripping his hair at its ends

Looking back it all seems like a front
Playing shows and getting drunk
Abusing substance every
First of the month

So that was his plot
Falling into this lot
Homie or opp?
It's hard to tell when you're under the rock

Dime nickel, nickel and dime
He lost his mind
Counting the leeches
He would wine and dine

Friends turn to foes
Hoe suck for blow
Bloody knucks
From punching walls
Over dirty sluts

But Miguelito was strong
Keep pushing on
Before long he found a girl
He was proud with on his arm

Feels like so long since he was blessed by a smile
Heart broken in two
Mended by this woman he admired

New job, new clothes, no drugs
Or gold
Swept under rugs we hold
To guard our souls from this world

Getting sober
Cycles appear like they're over
This girl is loyal
Buy the seeds only as good as the soil

Another relapse
Bags that she packed
Tried to block the door
She struggles so faces get smacked

It's worse than before
She's screaming "no more"
Barley grabbed the phone
Before getting choked by the cord

Battery was the charge
Light considering the thought
His ex would be forever scarred
After her abuser was caught

Now he's drifting
Silhouettes with the faces missing
Clouded by visions
Of the women who left him
Friends have abandoned
Feeling helpless and stranded
Turning to methods
Inside of a psyche that's branded
Madness dwelling in these patterns

It's was a Sunday when he took his life
No gun, so a knife was the bullet that he chose to bite
And there he lay
Blood staining the alleyway
Give it a day
And the memory fades away
