[Black Book]

How come I feel as if our mothers were lying to us at our bedtimes?
It seems like the news stations got our childhood stories backwards in the headlines.
And I know it may be quite difficult to fathom this,
But ain't it ironic how pigs busted in a wolf's crib because he had them bricks?
Funny how the hand you were dealt didn't pan out so you got hooked on some magic dust.
You thought it could make you fly and never land but it ended tragic plus
You ended up in jail as an addict just
Wishing the judge would tinker with the bail,
But he won't and mama isn't there to tell a tale to her dreamer in a cell.
Mama ain't subtlety putting your name in the story anymore, you blatantly in the headlines.
How come they never told stories of real life pain at our bedtimes?
