put the money in the bag and don’t look back

no need for you to take a ride in a black Cadillac

so do as your told and i will be on my way and you will survive another day

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….so i glanced in the mirror and i saw my chance, he had taken his eyes off me to check the door

i whirled around and clipped his head the gun went off and i grabbed his hand

an elbow to the throat and he was gasping for air, i put him in handcuffs and in a few minutes the police were there

i looked him in the face and said son your got a gift, cause your ass was one step away from joining the dead

you came in here to rob my place, after i have worked hard and long to have this space, so you need to think about what you need to do, to find a better way to get where you are going to

because there are only two things this kind of life can give, always being hunted or a bullet in the head

i know exactly what you will do, you will keep doing what you’re doing until someone does you

and when the blood is running out your mouth and your nose, you’ll remember this old man who told you so

i did what you said i would do a few more times, and your mug kept haunting me and your words got stuck in my mind

so i didn’t know how or what to do, but i decided to do something different and i went back to school, it wasn’t easy and i almost quit many times, but i keep seeing your face, especially your eyes, i joined the army and learned a skill and now i teach electronics to kids in jail……………… and a few make it and stop coming back and they send me pictures of their family and kids, i wouldn’t have this life if you hadn’t cared

so i come into your store with a little money in this bag, so maybe you can help another kid like me turn their life around

now me and that young man have become great friends and we work together to help the neighborhood kids

we keep a little money stashed in a bag back here, to keep kids from stealing and to show them someone cares
