"Just Living ((Sin's Plight))"
  by Ms. Sincerious


Still Feel Me (Instrumental) (J Armz Vol. 20) - Jadakiss


I grew up watching
Family Matters.

Always believed
That family mattered.

Matter of Fact:

Death
can cause
a family to shatter.

I am a broken piece
of living proof to that.

There are just some things
That once they’re gone
Never come back.

And pressure tests
These ties that bind

As a result
We often find
That “family” can be
no more than
a fragile state of mind.

Meaning:
It doesn’t always last.

& some people
Are only meant to be
Memories in our past.

Shit…

Ive had friends
That cried
“RIDE OR DIE”

& they stood firm
by my side--
Poppin bottles
(every club night)

But---
when the chips were down,
and it was “fight or flight”
“RIDE OR DIE”
Was nowhere in sight

Now,
How’s that for insight?

Meaning:
When it comes down to it

I’m alone in this fight.

And I’m…

Well,
I’m just tryna get it right.

Tryna keep the big picture in sight
All the while
I’m just tryna enjoy the ride
And live my life…

Put my demons to rest
Before I close my eyes-

Just so I can sleep (with peace) at night.

Feelin this for real Sin, from beginning to end...a dope expression of relateable experiences. ~When the chips are down, are you still around~ that's the test and far too many times, the one {s} who said they would be there, that we EXPECT to be there are NO WHERE to be found ...*smh*... don't get me started! {lol}
