"Generational collar"
  by man:man


- I wish i could be different, I wish that i could change. I wish when iwas heard, You could see my face or know my name. I wish i could be proud of myself an not follow around in shame. I wish i could be weird, I wish i could could be the opposite, Wish i didnt wear wat they wear, I see them wit it now im out coppin it. I wish i could, i wish i could? Wishes dont come true, So now im prayin lord, Im prayin god, tell me where are you? Raised an babied by my mother,an no additional others, Never stood up for myself,just ran up under my covers. As i sit and im reflectin, Starin at my reflection, Wonderin is my life just a slow ride to hell, or am i just bein tested. Im jealous of my reflection Cause he can only see the pain, I envy my shadow cause he can only see the rain. Stuck in the back seat, Letiin everyone else drive, not push ups or curls can strenghthin my mind. Im doin everything wrong, lord deliver me from this pig pin, only time i speak up and speak out is on this pad, lord deliver me from this ink pin. Never see me in the same clothes, the world said thats stylin an profilin, throwin dueces wit a fresh fit on im smilin while my soul frownin. But i love to be fresh to death, call it a roca wear suicide? Ion even wanna wear these clothes, but yet in em i have so much pride.Man thats a true follower, true word swollower, so call em just pets, wit a generational collar.:

damn, im really feelin this...just realize that sometimes, even when you're in the background, you still stand out...you may not notice it, but someone looks up to you....it may be someone that you dont even really know, that just watches your actions and secretly wants to be like you. SO be careful in the moves you make and the things you say, you never know whose watching
