A New Path

I'm bored with nothing to do. When I can be on the block chilling with my crew. Right now I'm hidding behinde my words. Knowing that one day I might die by this sword. I grew up in the streets. Trying hard to run and hide from the heat. Ducking and dodging bullets I can not be beat. But I switch my path but still using my mentality from the street. Cause right now I have a different hustle. In school using my brain power I'm in a different struggle. Trying hard to excape from this street war. But yet i find myself taking shots after shot at the local bar. My soul is aching my heart is bleeding sometimes life is too hard. But I will not stop fighting cause I'm determined to go the whole nine yards.

This Is Great. My Brother Was In The Bloods. Even Though He Found A Way Out The Crips Are Still Commin' After Him. Your Gang Doesnt Define You Though. Every Guy In Every Gang Started Out Just As A Kid Who Didnt Really Have Anyother Way. Just Looking For Belonging. Not Many Of Them Make It Out Alive. Not Many Of Them Get To Turn Around Their Lives. I Really Hope You Get To. Good Luck. Love And Peace. Boo
