the cost



it cost me and my mothers house
my girlfriend
and employment to just watch it come out
not to enjoyable when stating its in London
let intelligence prevent it from escaping
would have been much more entertaining
the mass they was from
at least God was right
I don't run from mad joker
and head games against my life
at least God was right
cost all of my life
the problems that ran out of London
those that didn't think God was right
cost all I'll be
in my lifeline
the mad joker and his head games
always taking from my writings
and setting my world aflame
just another straight man
that got a mad joker and his head games attached
on all I write
instead of deal me in an honest hat
at least God was right
should have your men eliminated. in London
instead of let it escape
should have supported me
instead of trying to make me like
your evil snake
my hand didn't strike down
an honest stake
just think how much couldn't have got killed
if you'd have been able to prevent chasing it out of london of
God was right
no smart asses allowed
to kill God was
