It’s Not So Real
It’s Not So Real It’s just the inner city blues Sidewalks paying dues Shell casing the only clues Crime set on cruise Souls with nothing to lose Grasping unattainable dreams Fades like moonbeams Innocence in the distance screams Life and death interweaves What they see, what they believe Juveniles with egotistical pride On a peeps rep they ride Ghetto stars become their guide Reality and perceptions collide Fear rests on their insides Yet, continues with their battles Generations going round in circles Surviving only on miracles Seeks solace in oracles Their future remains in shackles Saturday night escapades Riding durdy in escalades Videos in head rest being played Signature, You know I am paid Card face down, is still a spade Shorty is living the high life Holding out to be a wife Takes deep cuts from his knife To be envied it’s a small sacrifice Self-reliance is just too much strife So easily she plays the game Often she is the caboose on the train Won’t even remember their names Drug impaired she feels no pain Still proud of the indelible stains Happy she being seen in VIP Shows she of some pedigree Roving eyes just can’t believe For all their feelings of envy It’s paid for later on her knees... Ole up, wait a minute This is the wrong script That’s how some want to spin it Calling it real doesn’t make it legit This is what they are afraid to admit To the young man who graduates Knows there are choices to debate Takes charge of his fate Welcomes the hard work it takes Understands the limits of his faith You see he stayed in school Used its resources and tools Survived playing the part being un-cool Realizes who truly rules Has seen the graveyards of fools Forgoes the so called respect Gained much more with intellect Relishes in its after effect Humbled, he knows he is not perfect Yet, it’s what he expects He does not need weapons to tote Always taking mental notes Has not read murder he wrote Understands the right to vote Self-determination he forever promotes She has her head on her shoulders Sees herself being more than a mother A family can wait until she’s older Gets to know him before he holds her Not impressed by street soldiers Proud she achieved her Phd Exudes the strength of a true queen Demands respect like royalty Accepts her skin tone as natural beauty Plays her part with such dignity No longer just lays on her back Promiscuity is not part of her act Dismisses it as a known fact Somehow it’s innate to being black She will be taking another track One which includes a king Not just to wear a wedding ring But all the stability love truly brings A hope for the future on which to cling She understands without love there is nothing.... **** dat, listen dis Sumting fi mek yu jump an twis Profanity laced for emphasis Wi all kno ignorance is bliss Suh nuff ahunu a go enlis Jump pan banwagan quick Kno all di physical tricks A suck it lika licorice stick Betta memorise all a di lyrics Com now Gangsta Bounce to dis Want to see a nigga go crazy Put a noose around his neck Want to see a nigga go crazy Hold onto her welfare check Want to see niggas go crazy Make fun of their intellect Now Throw some d’s on it Throw some d’s on it… FoReal...........

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
