[?7hA Night On the Town

Ripples on the edge of the water,
Trouble brews in the town,
Someone's son, or someones daughter,
This one got caught playing the clown.

Blood running into a storm drain,
No one dies for a flag,
Destroy the mind to ease the pain,
This one goes in a body bag.

Concrete doesn't forgive a thing,
Metal destroys natal meat,
The night can hold a deadly sting,
This one lies dead in a street.

No one better come back,
Retribution is life in the hood,
The duty of the pack.
This one drips in blood.

Guns are itching,
Someone will pay,
The mob forgives nothing,
This one better pray.
