association 

i tried to explain as best i could

that he would be in trouble too

“you may have only drove the getaway car,

but that makes you guilty too”

“what are you talkin’ ‘bout bitch?

no one saw my face.

just you robbed that liquor store.

they only saw your face.”

i tried to explain as best i could

it was guilt by association

“you are just as guilty as i.

 you will be no exception.”

he nodded his head and glared at me

“do you take me for a sucker”

he put his gun to my head,

pulled the trigger

“associate that, mother-fucker”
