…..put down the gun son
just walk away
and before you start with all
the explanations – know
that i’ve heard it all before
how you
grew up poor
and how you
failed algebra
and how
becoming a badass gangsta
was goingto make us
respectya
but listen – this violence
needs to end right here
so put down the gun son
and step out of that blue
turn in that motherfucking badge
and i promise
we’ll rehabilitate you

and yet….
