"I'M A WRITER"

I'M A WRITER FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS

AN UNSPOKEN VOICE FOR MY SISTAS N BROTHAS

SOMETIMES IT HURTS TO INK WHAT I WRITE & SPIT WHAT I RAP ON DA MIC

I GIVE THESE WORDS LIFE CAUSE REALITY BITES!

I TAKE FLIGHT LIKE A 747 FLYING OVA DA SAHARA DESERT

CHARACTER IS MEASURED BY GOOD N BAD ENDEAVORS

MANY FRIENDSHIPS SEVERED, EVEN FAM BECAME STRANGERS

HEARTS FALL INTO DANGER WHEN LOVE IS DA ANCHOR

A WHILE AGO MY BROTHER MOOK LOST HIS SON, WHEN HE CALLED N TOLD ME IT FELT LIKE HE LOST BOTH OF HIS LUNGS..

HE COULDN'T BREATHE! I COULD HEAR HIS TEARZ THROUGH DA PHONE AS WE BOTH GRIEVED

COULDN'T IMAGINE HOW IT FELT TO LOSE ONE OF YA SEEDS

THE THOUGHT ALONE JUST MADE ME FREEZE! & FALL TO MY KNEES

POPS WAS HARDLY AROUND SO WE HAD TO LEARN TO BE MEN, WHOLE ANATOMY BECAME FROZEN WITHIN

TAKING HITS ON DA CHIN FROM A WORLD WITH NO REMORSE..

STAYED ON PATH TRYING TO FIND OUR COURSE, DEALING WITH DA STREETZ, COURTS, WOMEN N CHILD SUPPORT

WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS WE GRAVITATE TO WHAT WE WERE TAUGHT

OTHERS MIGHT NOT AGREE, WHEN DAT PAPER COMING IN NONE DISAGREE

WHEN ITS NOT I GUARANTEE MOST WILL FLEE, DATS JUST HOW MOST HUMANS REACT

CAUSE HALF OF DA TIME DAT 9 TO 5 DON'T PUT YOU N YOUR FAM WERE YOU WANNA BE AT

BUT A JAIL OR GRAVE AIN'T WHERE YOU WANNA BE EITHER, YEAH DA FLOW SOUND LIKE ETHER

BUT MY DREAMS DON'T PAY DA BILLS SO I'M STUCK WIT TIME DATS NOT LEISURE N DAT FUCKIN JOB AIN'T WHAT YOU WANT OUTTA LIFE NEITHER..

WATCHED MY GRANDPARENTS ROB PETER TO PAY SAUL N THEN GIVE IT TO PAUL

I WANNA LEAVE SOMETHING MORE BESIDE MY WORDS BEFORE DEATH FINALLY CALLS

AT TIMES WHEN I'M PEEING AT A STAHL, I DRIFT IN N OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS

CAUSE MY SANITY TURNS TO INSANITY GETTING CLOSER TO HANDING ME SOME SHIT I NEVER ORIGINALLY NEVER PLANNED TO BE..DAMNIT B! 

EVERYTHING I WRITE IS REAL I DON'T LIVE IN NO FANTASY

I LOST MY EMOTION 2 FEEL CAUSE PEOPLE I THOUGHT HAD MY BACK ABANDON ME

DA PAIN IS MAGNIFIED MORE WHEN ITS YOUR OWN FAMILY

MY OTHER BROTHER SAID, YOU CAN FIND HIS HEART AROUND DA CORNER OR SOMEWHERE UP ON HIS MOM'S VANITY..

25 TO LIFE/ ME N MY POPS SPEAK IN LETTERS/ RANDOMLY!

BUT SOMEHOW WE MANAGE TO KEEP GOING, SMOKE A L PUT DA TRUTH ON PAGES N KEEP ZONIN

WAS TOLD WE CAN'T DO IT SO IT'S UP TO YOU TO DO IT FOR ME

TRY TO LEAVE A LEGACY N TELL EM' OUR STORY..SO THAT'S WHAT I DO FOR THOSE DAT LISTEN

I'M A WRITER FOR MYSELF N OTHERS WHO NAMES ARE NEVER MENTIONED

FORGOTTEN BY DA GOVERNMENT SYSTEM, LANGUISHING IN DA DISTANCE SOUL SEARCHING FOR REPENTANCE.....
