"Greener Side"
  by Dante'


There are many questions to the power of time- many theories to the functions of life

Such as "What came first, the chicken or the egg?" and "Is the grass truly greener on the other side?"

The Poor man wants the rich man's position and the rich man want's the poor man's ambition & sense of vision

Popular people get tired of being seen as perfect & people who know their flaws wonder if being perfect is worth it?

You got some black people that wanna be white- ashamed of their color cuz it brings a harder life

You got some white people that wanna be black- because being black gives a sense of pride because of struggles we've had to overcome

You got people that wish to be someone else in some other place in some other mindstate and health

But 1 thing people don't think of is if you wanna be someone else- their problems yours become

This myth brings the birth of jealousy, loss of pride & Identitiy
So is the grass truly greener on the other side- I'm not tempted to that question cuz my side is green like the alpines

Damn, this is hot. This is a favorite no doubt in my mind. This is too real. I agree with everything and, I would like to say I love being black and wouldn't want to change to white. Not tryna downplay the race but With all the things my race and I went through, I couldn't see myself any different but black. But I'll love to be rich though haha. Great Write
