Truths of Life
We are all victims.
Victims of shame, Victims of grief,
Victims of poverty, Victims of death, Victims of disease,
Victims of abuse and neglect, Victims of regret.
Some of us have it harder than others,
Bullets flyin', Family's cryin', Homboys dyin',
You say your workin' hard but you're not really tryin',
You say it's because of the struggle but I'm not Buyin'.
We're all victims.
It's part of the system but you got to push harder,
you must endure through the pain that we all maintain physically or mentally till it's scarring your brain.
Because we're all victims.
But that's no excuse to lose yourself in who you really are,
You must stand out till people see you shine bright from afar,
You must overcome the overcome-able, lose yourself in your passion, put yoursel into action,
You must become the hustle,
Overcome the struggle,
And the next time you fall down pick yourself back up do not just lay on the ground,
Because when the pressure comes it comes full blow,
And this is your one opportunity to take it and grow,
Now wherever you go take this, remember and know,
But do not allow yourself to fall victim.
,Andrew Greening
