Roll it Up, Uncle John

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 5 months ago 1 min read

[Verse]

Uncle john in Virginia is living so bold

Outside DC is where his story unfolds

Thinks he fools the world with his counterfeit smile

Rich on the surface, but danger's his style

His pockets are full of dirty green he lives life like gangster movies he's seen

[Chorus]

Roll it up, uncle John, roll it tight

$5,000 cash to burn tonight

Secrets as dark as the streets of DC

You've got them Wrapped up tight, rolled up in your sleeves

Roll it up, uncle John, roll it tight

$5,000 cash to burn tonight

[Verse 2]

Beat his first wife with his devil’s hands

Left her broken when she made a stand

Now his shadow of terror stretches long and wide

But he can't hide the three kids he left behind

[Bridge]

money talks but it doesn't tell the truth

It quietly lies in expensive suits

[Chorus]

Roll it up, uncle John, roll it tight

$5,000 cash to burn tonight

Secrets as dark as the streets of DC

You've got them Wrapped up tight, rolled up in your sleeves

Roll it up, uncle John, roll it tight

$5,000 cash to burn tonight

Roll it up, uncle John, roll it tight
