Wasted Talent

dribbles tackles action home run how often seen on the 10 o'clock news fame is the blame for wasted talent when given the chance to make out the hood and have the young look up to you what pride at what price to pay whats going on when the dribbles and the tackles and the action and the home runs are to much over your head all eyes on you at all times haters wating for your down fall wating for your talent to be taken away given talent taken behind bars were is the support when making it all the way were are all your fans now when down and out they up and run we all fall short of glory not one of us can say other wise when given a gift not to many posses we tent to go astray away from whats real being real to your self is staying gold easy come easy go just as fast it can all be gone from the spot light curtains downone more name forgotten one more wasted talent
