The Rat Traps

Welcome to the rat traps

and to my neighborhood

everybody's struggling

and misunderstoodthe dope man and the hookers

and the poor Hispanic family

have all been praying

dying in this realitythis is how we live

this is where we liveMy friend he used to live there

until the age of seventeen

Raised with love and honor

single parent familyPainting a pretty picture

of the neighborhood

broken kids existance

is what i understoodthis is how we live

this is where we live

this is how i live

this is where i live

rat traps!
