He’s a cold hearted and
A mean person to be around.
His eyes were always
Black and dark
No soul or heart

When he smiles at you
It makes you want
To cringe up
Into a ball

Do his light work for him
Selling packs of drugs,
And bootlegging liquor

Her short brown hair
Would sway when she’d
Turn and smile
To the crowd.

“Hello boys?”
She flirted

"Get ova he!"
