TERRY

Once upon a time there was a girl named Terry,
in love with Jake because he busted her Cherry
Had a job and a car and folks with cash
That would do anything if Terry asked
And Jake a nobody scrambling and bummin’
But if he asked for money Terry would come running
Terry met Jake one day at the job
She came to work and he came to rob
He told a few lies and Terry was hooked
Not knowing all along that Jake was a crook
So one night they were together in Terry's car
Jake told her to stop by a nearby bar
Then he went inside the shady looking place
On a dead end street in a secluded space
Now the same thing happen night in and night out
And Terry never knew what was all about
Until one night in her he confided and told that he could not longer hide it
Just what he was saying Terry didn't understand
'til he pulled out a syringe and a big rubber band
That he tied his arm and made his dope warm
Felt for the right vein then he shot is in his arm
Nodded off for awhile, Terry knew he was high
And then he asked Terry if she wanted a try
She turned her head in disgust and she replied nope
See Terry didn't know a dam thing about dope
Jake started shooting more, acting all funny
calling Terry at 2 am begging for money
Cause if he needed a fix, he knew he was saved
Cause the more he asked, the more she gave
She gave and gave until she had not an end
borrowed money for her dopefiend boyfriend
And he always kept begging her to get turned on
Kept saying if she did it do no harm.
Then one night it happened Terry took one hit
Even though it shocked her system it gave her a lift
It was a dam good high Terry had to admit
So the next night she took hit after hit
The door got weaker the more she would take
Sitting in the car just as high as Jake
Jake knew he was wrong but his habit was strong
And he was falling in deep stringing Terry along
He string her along until she was strung out
Missing off when they were high just staring about
Then Jake robbed a store, made a score and said bye
Left Terry on her own, to do or die
So she stole from her job and stole from her folks
Got evicted and fired all because of dope
Cause if she spotted money she was sure to grab it
To support a hundred dollar a day dope habit
Everyday seeking ways to acquire more loot
Terry became a cold prostitute
Standing in the corner with her body for sale
And the next thing you know she found herself in jail
Picked up for soliciting a 6 month sentence
Doing her time while she 8 months pregnant
Terry went i to labor in the middle of the night
She cried in vain and she screamed in fright
And by the time the guards found her poor Terry was dead
And you could see the baby's head between her legs
Now Terry didn't live happily ever after
A dream of a life ended in disaster
Misled by a man that was selfish and mean
And Terry so sweet died at the age of 16
See i learn the facts of Life when they're supposed to be learned
So therefore early out I didn't get burned
Like Terry who was shamefully misled
I don't let nobody mess with my head
I have my own roads and lead the way i chose
And like Toucan Sam I follow my nose
And so far I'm right cause i here today
