Im 23 But My Minds Older

Bigoted depression Another man Live until 100 Old man already Life has been harsh Living beyond my peers No-one has seen my harshness Or lived the harshness Getting drunk on a Saturday night While I was chased by police Imprisoned in the life of hell Bullied until Mental illness No opportunities in the hood Shook! Not a chance in hell I made life happen Not anyone Everyone gave up on me I prevailed Don’t mess with this The harshness of life I’m 23, but my minds older
