The Past Becomes The Future

by Mark Coates   Jul 9, 2005


BANG! BANG!
There are tears coming from his eyes
His daddy hit him again
It's not that he wants to hit his son
But hes being controled by dope
All the years of being hurt himself
Hes taking out on his son
His son is innocent
Like he once was
That boy is so scared
Of his dad that he cries
He doesn't want to stand up to him
For fear of it being done again
