Harsh Reality Vol.Ii

They Say It ain't what you say but how you say it so tell me, how do you get across the truth knowing how people are gonna look at you after the moment it's spoken. I mean people hate it but love it so addictive like 2nd hand smoking me, I'm like a sponge when it comes to knowledge yeah I'm still soaking my man got his life taking away from him before his time and for me dat was like a wake up call but I've learned never mind the good times how you gone react when things hit rock bottom, can you still stand tall It's hard doing right when every things gone wrong how you goin catch dat hailmary pass when you outta bounds life ain't nothin but a choice of who you goin stay loyal to Your Lord & Savior, or ya homeboys ya know them niggaz dat always held you down. What's reality for me? Knowing at the wrong place or wrong time I could leave this world and my seed would be fatherless, but looking out my scope with all the snakes & rats I encountered its hard to see who's the real target and yeah I'm Holy so I got gifted hands like Ben Carson, and as a black man I'm only trying to reach what we call freedom and man can't live off bread alone so for my son's sake the holy scriptures I gotta continue to feed him. So if this ain't harsh reality somebody tell me, whats the fate of another lost soul, just another statistic to the streets that came from an unstable home
