This is how it's goin' be!
drama unfolds
only when *****'s
ain't where they posed to be!
mindin' they own!
doin' they thang!
whisperin' like
*****'s,
bout anotha *****'s intentions.
how they goin' get rich
off anotha *****'s inventions.
anotha *****'s invention... what?

Beware!

of a cousin named distant
or a father named, missin'
I'ma *******
that's determined
to bring this
to your attention.

listen!

and maybe you will know
how to play yo position!

distance!

yo' self from the negative
just be
relentless.

maybe...

I should love me
for what I'm worth?
or maybe
the television
or the news
has to show
a ***** first!

maybe...

I hate livin
because the struggles to great
but
what I choose
affects the little ones
that
I help create... I help create!

I ventured out on my own
too young
as a kid.
****** up
and landed on my ***!

gotdamn!

again?

couldn't stand my mama!
she tried to
box me in.
not realizin'
mama
was tryin' to raise

two... black... men!
Based on my life. Spoken in its truest form. Parental discretion is advised!
