A Taste of Reality Pt. 2

Life seems to be getting a little hopeless because we began to feel sober. What 
a shame how many are careless. We need to pay more attention to the truth. We 
all going to leave this place whether its gun to gun, to the streets, to the hospital 
bed, to the grave, or diseases- we all going by. Put your problems to the aside, 
start facing reality for it slap you in the face, because once you fall there isn’t no 
getting up. Certain people stand to run us over. Some still complaining about 
slavery, take a look back that’s not so long ago. We might all end back tied up if 
we keep complaining God will fix us all and open our eyes. The world is the 
same. There isn’t going to be a change. I got lover for everyone but we aren’t 
never going nowhere if we don’t stick together. You got to make a change if 
someone wont who will? When will we see a black president, people see our 
background as being dumb. Hopefully we can prove them wrong. Remember 
only God can judge us and nobody else. Its not a crime to fight for what you 
believe in, but when you don’t stand up for what is yours then what are we to do? 
Sometimes I take a look at the world and ask is this life worth living cause 
everyone is dropping and nothing seems to change. My only fear is that death is 
coming and with this war going on I hope we don’t all turn to ashes. Pay attention 
to the world you all and what is going on.
