Crossroads 1

Life behind US 18 and 385
is just like anywhere
do or die.

Some people instead of do or die
think of it as a place to get
high.

Even though we try to make it
day by day
we drag ourselves down
further each day.

We have fights and things that you may have too
but do you always
have the cops watching you?

Life is simple if you let it be, 
but if you make it hard you might end up in JDC.

I don't have a choice but to go to 
school because for some
dumb reason the government
made it a rule so I set in class each day bored as 
h_ _ _ in every way.

Even though I don't like
it I still am going to stick with it because for without it I will be lost in this
world or maybe if not lost I will make a life with
little.
