My Thoughts

What am I livin' for
Nickels and dimes for these verses
I know only GOD is perfect
But dang . . .
This life aint worth it
Influenced by the project pastors
Spitten heed to the streets
A mind is a terrible thing to waste
But I think to fast for my feet
Plus the game dont wait
I never had to snatch purses
But we all got our struggles
Mine are just underneath the surface
A life of crime was never mines
But stress aint no stranger
They say the smarter you are
The more your aware of danger
But is that really true
Cause I've been locked up and locked down
So don't tell me I got it easy
My life is harder than it sounds
Plus I got the weight of the world on my shoulders
Cause I'm black
So Im considered low class
Poverty is our friendly neighbor
We're always first to go last
& you could laugh
And I could laugh too
But aint nothin' funny round here
I smile to cover up the pain
Cause sorrow is common to my ears
I seen dudes get shot right in front of my eyes
Well . . .
Really in the movie BELLY
But I was still dramatized
Cause imagine the effect it has on those who see it
In the real
Than have to hear
"Reach for the stars, try hard to perservere "
Now that . . .
Is what I call funny
I laugh to cover up the pain
Cause sorrow is common to my kind
dang . . . aint it a shame
