i wish you could look through the eyes we see,
youd see, alot of envy and hate constantly,
it sux that life aint as easy as the air we breathe,
in this world aint nuttin free, cant get shit wit ease,
i apologize to the youngters for the life we lead,
out here its all about money, drugs, guns and greed,
pretty much like the gangster movies you see on t.V.,
except that we live this life for real, its all reality,
i'm not exactly a role model, you dont have to hear me preach,
cuz ive done some regretful things, i have no right to teach,
im not tryna be sweet cuz i know im on the hot seat,
i need help wit this message im tryna complete,
but some people need step up, not only just me,
i'm only one of the few that arrived on the scene,
all that bling, cars, and girls you see on the screen,
is nothin but a tease, cuz life is a struggle times 3,
for the simplest things it seems like you got to get down on one knee,
theres people who can barely pay their rent, but still go on shoppin sprees,
its like i'm livin 2 separate lives, college life and the streets,
i'm just tryna see what life has to offer me,
at times i feel like im in quicksand, sunk in waste deep,
tryna figure a way out without dyin by the heat,(not the sun)
police got me runnin around like im doing the "3 man weeve",
the block is so hot, its like someone dipped it in grease,
but imma keep my head high wit my goals in my reach,
imma battle out this hood no matter how steep it may be,
if i told you this in person, you prolly wouldnt believe,
thats why i painted yall this picture using my poetry
let me know if yall feel me...
