My name is Cocaine – call me Coke for short /I entered this assignment help uk country without a passport.

Ever since then I’ve made lots of scum rich./Some have been murdered and found in a ditch.

/I’m more valued than diamonds, more treasured than gold. /Use me just once and you too will be sold./I’ll make a schoolboy forget his books./I’ll make a beauty queen forget her looks./I’ll take renowned speaker and make a bore./I’ll take a mother and make her a whore./I’ll make a schoolteacher forget how to teach. /I’ll make a preacher not want to preach. I’ll take all your rent money and you’ll get evicted. /I’ll murder your babies or they’ll be born addicted./I’ll make you rob and steal and kill./When you’re under my power you have no will./Remember my friend my name is ” Big C “./If you try me just one time you may never be free. /I’ve destroyed actors, politicians and many a hero. /I’ve decreased bank accounts from millions to zero./I make shooting and stabbing a common affair. /Once I take charge you won’t have a prayer./Now that you know me what will you do ?/You’ll have to decide, It’s all up to you./The day you agree to sit in my saddle./The decision is one that no one can straddle./Listen to me, and please listen well./When you ride with cocaine you are headed for hell !!!
