Hollow heart
Dwelling in the dark
Felt like I was a golden fish
amongst the sharks
Growing up playing where death
was lurking in the playground and the park.

The music business saved me
from death lurking in the streets
I was a young adolescence
That attained fame with great influence
From singing love hymns
to women and nations.

Women twice my age
came around by the dozen
Going wild for my love and affection.
Letting them into my world
i fell for their my seduction.

Only in my early 20s
Women and drowning in creational drugs
became my passion and poison
The Fame and accolades became the prison
My downfall
came about when death
took my life away
for its great satisfaction.
