Book Smart Or Street Smart

Book smart or street smart Street smart The street thought me How to love Showed me pains Gave me challenges Hugged me with smiles But slapped me with knowledge Yet the street thought me How to love How to live How to fight for my right How to doubt How to grow Yes the street thought me How to love How to get together with Brothers and sisters with love How to be a man How to care How to give How to help How to hope How to revenge How to be strong How to face dangers How life is though Yet the best of all The street thought me How to love You can't take away the street Life in me No matter where you take me to Book smart I didn't remember so much About the books Cos schools are boring to me The class room is like A meeting venue to my kind I love to be out there Cos so many things I read in the books Dont help me to be better much But keeps my mind limited To a particular knowledge I think my mind is more better Than the books I could understand with time That my reality is my truth So I saw my survival In the street The street need no books But real life And here is were am born To grow not with the books
