Here I am a young new teen.
All my friends, they are so keen.
They give me dope every day.
I'll take more, it is the cool way.
Have a beer, it will cool you down.
Take an up to end the frown.
That little powder, will give you a thrill.
No more babies, take this green pill.
I'm only a teen who's really cool.
Sitting by my pimp's new swimming pool.
Got to keep this life on track.
Right arm, the vein has tack.
Upon my stage, a MOTEL bed.
Last week the paper said, ' I WAS DEAD '.
