My Childhood Dreams
Jigzaw pieces of puzzles confusions
I feel like OJ without the murders of humans
Once a great athlete for those to look up to
Now sitting low waiting for death to approach you
The guns of the young strapped like security blankets
Mistermeanor crimes combat those without turrets
Who cares how I spell as long as the messages true
You college bound guppy get your degree in the area of fool
As you waist time deciding in life "what am I to do"
I wouldve got a head start in life shining shoes
Living up to the reputation that comes with skin color
I thought based on society life would come easier
Only to find the true meaning of hard work is killing me
I gave up on what used to be my childhood dream
To rule the world with my energy and natural plea
Now I am drawing the lines on my wrist to cut it free
As life chuckled and took care of my false pride
Lovely errands of work got lost like my tribe
The dreams of many go wasted when you grow up
Find out life is tougher than Dr.Zuess promised us
For Green Eggs and Ham must be a fairytale
I found out when they served the same siht for food in jail
As I scribbled the days left to serve on the wall
I read that Superman in 1993 finally did fall
Even the one who could stop a speeding bullet died
Whats that to say about me and my constant crys
I guess I better give up on my childish dreams
To free the world of racism and polluted screams
I better get back to work somebody just threw up
Hopefully they leave a tip so I can save it up
And pay for my child to go college like you
Maybe his dreams wont crash hard as mine did so true
