"Life aint on Eazy ST."
  by Mr. Chicago Joe


Sometimes death seems better than life
At least you dont have to worry about
Being wrong or right

Ever since I was little I been feeling the pain
My intuition setting in
my soul is starting to drain

To my unborn seed
Baby,
life can get hard
Keep your head up baby
And your faith in GOD
If it all falls down
Pick yourself back up
Dust yourself off
And start your
Game back up

I dont know why I thought
life would be easy
The fast life dope game
is starting to tease me
I most be dreaming
Like Keisha Cole and Jeezy
But everyday I live to die
cause U really dont need

I feel hopeless,
stuck on a limb,
I cant focus
So what should I do
I lost to many friends
I tried of pouring out some brew...
Been to over 30 funerals
And Im only 19
My heart beats pain
Why the fuck I am I
stuck in this game?

I sick of these hoes
Why dont they leave me alone?
Thats why I tax they ass
Fuck you if you think
pimpin is wrong
I didnt chose this life
This life choose me
My mama use to be a street walker
Working these streets
She schooled me on the game
Kept my head above the lames
She use to tell
"If you love these hoes
they gone destroy your brain"

At night I feel pain
I barely get to sleep
I got so much guilt in my mind
From what I use to do in the streets

Man,
Life dont live on Eazy St.

" my soul is starting to drain" great usage of language. " i feel hopeless stuck on a limb", kept my head above the lames" i really felt those lines. the whole entire poem sounded genuine. great write

i admire the way you view life as something that chooses you,it plans the situations that you will undergo --its something about your poetry that inspires me,your emotions are so raw,from start to finish i was pulled into your reality,embraced every word/stanza and felt your pain--keep filling the pages because i'll most def keep reading----PRiNCE
