Tragic Tradition

My moms friend set about to end my life I was only 13
There was far too many nuts amongst only 29 palm trees
Young life, drug house, addiction proved a lethal disease
13 years old, no tears wasn't gunna let no man take life from me

Despite all the bull shit I've tried to live optimistically
My girl thinks I'm deaf, blind and dumb, the truth hurts me sadly
Story of my life no ball and chain but heavy on tragedy
Realize reality, even a blind man could see her infidelity

Lost all my friends to war and drugs, life offers no guarantees
Now I'm knocking on heavens door while I'm locked out with no keys
Addiction ends life, took my whole family and it's about to take me
No direction, only tradition, so hang me from my family tree
