fresh's verse
Action = Reaction
Jamie had the world in the palm of her hands
A cordial individual who seemed to follow the laws of the land
University degree with a basketball scholarship
But she has never actually known what the worth of a dollar is
Pleasantries were inadvertently retraced with greed
Though they did remain, it became a façade as she wandered aimlessly
Through the rest of her life with the fakest of smiles inlaid
So thirsty for attention that she could spot a rapist from miles away
So one day Jamie had an urge that she couldn’t resist
People soaked her story up like a towel, so she gave it a twist
When it all leaked out there was no cleaning the spill
The way she portrayed the man would end up getting him killed
Johnny was born into a family of raggedy vagabonds
Orphaned at the age of three and this is how Johnny’s saga spawned
Beaten and tormented until one day he finally snapped
He was old enough to think, so he snuck out and he never came back
Fifteen years old and he was already addicted to drugs
Couldn’t hold a job and so he was perpetually conflicted with thugs
He saved up enough money and he purchased a gun
The .38 gave him a sense of power but he was still worthless and spun
Johnny found the courage to rob the local liquor store
Eyes sullen yet empty; Johnny didn’t have a fuck left to give no more
He pointed the gun at the clerk and cut straight to the chase
She finished emptying the register; he smiled and shot her right in the face
Johnny stole the dead clerks keys with nothing for a plan
Clicking the buttons repeatedly, he finally found her two-door sedan
He raced down the highway maintaining top speeds,
and floated through intersections like leaves in a strong breeze
Off in the distance approaching from the opposite direction
a yellow Ferrari was careening rampantly invoking an unseen inception
Jamie and Johnny saw eye-to-eye before the big collision
Under different circumstances they could have made that split decision
Johnny was truly dead inside and Jamie was hysterical
Had their life cascaded differently, there could have been a miracle
But now Johnny was fucking dead outside and in
And Jamie would never have the opportunity to be hysterical again
That night a brilliant new star would be born
As the bodies were carried away to be taken to the morgue
So remember the series of events that can happen
For every single action there is an opposite and equal reaction
