First memory of my brother, Leon

I was only three

Forced himself inside of me
All the kids stood 'round

As I descended into hell

When I told my daddy 'bout it

But your past just catches up with you

I wish I could forget that night

The way the cards all fell

Three days on the party

In a drunken revelry
E A
Shirley Ann said Chuck had plans
D A
To lure my kids from me

We stuck him with a dagger

I went down willingly

Now I'm doing life in prison
