I was blasted out of my sleep
3 o’clock in the morning
Some maniac out side leaning on his car horn
Gotta go outside and teach him a proper education on waking working people up
Hood bad enough cant let it get worst then it already is

You hear me
Do yawl hear me

I need my sleep

That’s the only time on this planet that I ever get any peace
I tried that college thing on some American dream tip
But yet I still live on the same street that I grew up on
Them same streets I grew tough on
My
Mother hoped I would surpass at lease to the middle class
But yet im still stuck on that same mentality
And all them years of college aint even challenge me
But when I graduated
Life was right there to put a degree in my hands and a foot on my chest
And here I am dress in my pajamas and no slippers about to run outside
And rip the backbone out this fool aint got nothing to show from all them years of school
But……………………………………..

Bad credit

And even worst discussions

And I live in a hood where people buy food on credit
So they finance what they dont just take and their
Making payments on food that they already ate
When they see me on the street they looking at me they about to break
And im snatching open this door like im about to break and I
See my best friend
And he’s sitting in his mini-van with four of those child car seats
And he’s looking at me with a gun in his hand its like I can hear his heart beat
And with his other hand he takes a swig of liquor from a bottle of scotch
Pops the door locks like get in nigggga

Moves the pictures of his children off the car seat with the gun
Throws them glove box then its like every thing stopped

And we drive
And we drive
And we driveee
Till we get to the part of town where it seems like the American dream is still live
And in my mind im playing Nina Simone as im looking out the window on the passenger side
Its like some body scraping their finger nails along my bones as I feel this grown man cry

And I wonder if he knows that tens of millions of people in this country are depressed
But using alcohol or drugs to remain in denial
I wonder if he knows that theirs a suicidal tendency hiding behind almost ever smile
Cause no matter how many times they go back to school or jobs they work simultaneously they could never seem to permanently change their life style
But some how
They convince themselves it would be different for their children
and eventually
they will realize that’s a fantasy but they need summing to believe in until then

and him …..he just wants to be a father to his children
but some times yawl………..after all the love is gone
children become pawns in relationship

and his relationship with his children is the vehicle that his ex wife chooses to to take out her frustrations with and if
he’s just one day late on the child support…..she reports it to the courts

and what’s driving him crazy is yesterday
he just got laid off now 30 days ago her and the kids just moved in with a new man who drives a range rover and plays golf
and that’s a year ago from the day that my best friend had go to jail for making her last boyfriend stop telling the children that their father was soft and right now!!!!

He feels like every things lost

That why im glad he came to me to give me this opportunity to put a few thoughts across
U see all day and ……..all nite…. we talked
And I told him
A man is judged by
What’s in his soul and what’s in his heart and not just by what’s in his pockets

I tell him
Me and him are friends thru thick and thin and if he’s in pain …we need to put our brain time and money together to stop it
I tell him
If the fact u don’t have a lot of money is a problem
Then rather then getting fed up… what we need to to is wake up
Like mosses and Jacob when ever we get together just find new ways to prosper
And stack our cake up. And profit
Cause in my eyes our friendship is how we live and how we die
And don’t u ever believe even for a second that I will ever let u slide
Now for what im about to say I want to to listen with all your pride and sexually aside
Cause as god as my guide like my own self……………I love u :thinking: :thinking: :thinking: hookup
