Leon Dabney

It was in the year of nineteen sixty five That a mother gave birth to a soldier He grew up believing that you must fight to survive And his beliefs grew stronger as he grew older Was he real soldier or was he just a thug? He never served his country he just served men with drugs And all of his comrades always served him well Because the more money they made meant there was more drugs to sell Leon Dabney, Leon Dabney, are you out there somewhere? Because few men would fight you but the rest are too scared But the ones that do better have luck on their side Because after three attempts you still haven't died He was a fearless man who played Russian roulette With his ego and his pride he'd never break a sweat When he walked into a pub he'd buy everybody drinks But if you didn't drink it all you'd be dead in a blink If there was money to be made, there was work to be done If a battle was to face then a war to be won To be feared by all was a badge to achieve To be beat in a brawl was not to believe Leon Dabney, Leon Dabney, are you out there somewhere?
