Cidade de Deus

By Err0r

I'm no lover.
I'm a con.

a hustler with sincerity
for the innocent.


i've got

bitches.

cash.

connections.


deceit doesn't hurt,
unless you know about it.


'and you ain't neva' broke,
as long as someone owes you.'

i bet by now you're wondering why
and how
i can be this way...


it's simple
it's legal [shut up yes it is.]

and the only thing i've ever stolen
was your ex's heart.


after all,
life's just a game
[and i'm just monopolizing boardwalk...]

    Damn, and all this time, I thought I was broke... I know tons of people who owe me money! Maybe that's why I'm always so damn broke. Wow, what a vicious circle.

    The brash edge of a persona/emotion/mindset; a coarse slap to the senses but yet well-worded and constructed. Kudos.
