Poem
I don’t know what the problem is But one thing I can say We need to get it together In the very best way It doesn’t make any sense That lives are being taken For idiotic reasons Killers in the making How can you speak to your Mother In such a nasty tone Having no type of respect While living in her home Don’t allow him to degrade you Make you feel smaller than life I don’t care if there was a ceremony And you are his wife Don’t let her walk all over you Think she has a fool Stand up and take charge But never loose your cool Don’t let people abuse you Take things like a grain of salt If you never stand up for yourself You’ll continue to get got Have some self-respect Pull your pants up off your behind Act like you have some sense Because the clock doesn’t rewind Cover up your assets Stop walking around with little to nothing on Have some class about yourself I don’t understand what’s going on How many young people Own a library card Knowledge is Power Have some regard For the older people Who you cuss in front of on the bus Smooth out your edges Stop trying to be so tough Be your own individual Stop having such a bad attitude It can hinder you From reaching your latitude Life will teach you many lessons So be a kid while you can Enjoy the burdens you don’t have That you will when you become a woman and a man Stop killing each other Shooting guns for fun Taking people’s lives Mothers, Fathers, Daughters and Sons Get your education Make something of your life Don’t keep holding up the block From sun up to moon light Stop having babies Just to keep a guy Most of you now realize What he said was a lie Thought he would stick around Help you raise your child He’s really still sowing his oats Out there in the wild Take the talents that you have Drawing, singing, rapping, and more Turn things into a positive Allow your talents to soar Don’t be so negative about things Your output becomes your return All of your experiences Are lessons for you to learn Take heed to what the old folks say They know what they are speaking about Don’t be so quick to judge their words Because they are schooling you And this is Real Talk
