Angel 2

(album: 20Flaw7 - 2018)

I was raised and brought up as a loser
I'm 18 years old and I don't have a future
Drugs and the street life is all that I am used to
The hood call me Ghost but the name's Derrick Jr
Had a sister a little bit younger
But she ran away last year in the summer
Never got to tell her that I loved her before she was gone and was never discovered
It's been too long, cops said it's done with
I start to track down the people she hung with
Did she have a boyfriend? Who did she do drugs with?
Cuz I know it was someone that got her corrupted
This OG told me that she worked with a girl named Jen on the block for the 3rd shift
Doing what? He just looked at me nervous and said, if you wait she'll resurface. Ok

Stayed in the cut, I was far from exposed
As I watched all these girls prostitute down the road
Just when I thought my chances were blown
I can hear someone call out a name and I froze
She walked right by me and I missed her
Pulled up beside and said I'm a good tipper
Jumped in and started asking bout my sister
I knew it was her, how she looked at picture
She started spilling about this dude named Derrick
She said he raped them both and got em HIV infected
And how the prostituting really made them feel accepted
Man I shouldn't be saying this, he could be here any second
Look all I know is she was sold to a pimp
They call him the Morgan, now I haven't seen her since
You can find him around 127th and 10th
And he won't be hard to find cuz you look like his twin. I gotta go

Rolling around down 127th
And stopped at the building that Jen has suggested
Found me a face that I never expected
It's one that I hate so how could I forget it
Then I start to think smarter
I was 5 when I last saw this punk of a father
Angel was 2, wouldn't know if he saw her
Which means he infected and pimped his own daughter
I was called in the streets trying to track more
She was a mess but this not what she asked for
I'm in too deep and I won't try to back off
Circle around just to sneak through the back

Walked in and grabbed the first thing I saw
Extension chord on the wall, he might be gone if I stall
Then I seen him on the steps, with his head to the floor
Too drunk to even notice I had stepped in the door
I wrapped the chord around his neck, saw his hands shake
As I was choking I look deep into this man's face
The other end around a rail, he was pale
I could tell that he was dead as he dandled from the staircase
This for Angel, how'd you think that it would go?
Devil's gonna burn your soul but I need everyone to know
Made it look like he took his own life
What a show. What's a suicide without a suicide note
And I should write it like a will
I'll do it like I'm him and speak on what I know was real
And nobody will think that it was his son who got him killed
And he did himself from the guilt. Brilliant
