Be Legit

No one is real, We all have a dual face. Find someone who can, Excite your taste. People respect money, Not the person. Money can be, A Beast of Burden. The one you love more, Is the one that hurts you the most. The rest of your life, You live with her ghost. When you're happy, You enjoy the melody. Life is full of fun and Prosperity. When you're sad, You feel the lyrics. You get crap from The critics. Patience is hard when You have nothing. Alone with your thoughts, It is something. Check your attitude, When you have everything. It's often assassination, That kills the king. People want good looks, They don't want good people. Most times the intentions Are mean and evil. Failure slaps you out In the open. It floods you with, Anger and emotion. Success hugs you In private. It’s true, You can't deny it. A poor person, He has no fake friends. He has no money, To give or to spend. When the time comes, Own your s___t. Lay it on the line, Be legit. Turbo1904?

Thank you. I always rhyme. It is similar to Dr. Suess, except mine has an adult theme. Thanks for noticing the message and the rhyming scheme. Best Wishes, Turbo1904
