George
Who is George?
Who is George?
George was a young man that Fonny used to see in church. He died on the streets from a drug overdose.
Somebody was testifying, a young man with kind of reddish hair, he was talking about the Lord and how the Lord had dyed all the spots out of his soul and taken all the lust out of his flesh. When I got older, I used to see him around. His name was George: I used to see him nodding on the stoop or on the curb, and he died of an overdose.
