Across the street there was a scuffle,
loud voices at the corner store, shots fired, broken glass, two men escape the front door, crossfire, sirens, taxi cab lays on the horn, a baby cries, tires screech,
something’s burning through my arm, time stops, stood at pause,
as if it waved a magic wand, I looked down and what I found
nearly stopped my broken heart, her lungs filled with blood
and all she could manage was a cough,
even worse, as she would struggle
I was left to sit and watch, from time to time, I wonder when my skin gets nice and hot, if this scar is just a story left to make a, make a mark #buffalo #buffalohiphop #music #musicmondays #hiphop #rap #storytelling #story #smoke #cigarette #cigaretteburns #takingbacktomorrow
