A Life

For once, a life free from despair. 
Fake people acting like they care.
But, yet they are never there.  

I gave up on the fake, and lost hope for the real.
Some kill over a deal. 
No one cares how you feel.
So many dying, over a pill.

Stay on your toes. 
Never trust those hoes.
Keep the powder out of your nose.
It is what it is, that's just way it goes. 

Keep pushing, don't fall behind. Stay on the grind. Be careful not to loose 
your mind. 
Never think twice. Don't ask for advice. And if your nice, you may have to 
pay a price.

Read between the lines, Prepare for the end of times.
Look out for the warning signs. 

Be you, Be true. You'll figure out what to do. 
Life is too short to be sad and blue.

Be careful what you say. Try to stay, in today.
Don't let nothing get in your way.

Trust no one, and forgive yourself.
Don't be afraid to ask for help. 
Everyone has a story to tell.
It's time to come out of your shell.
