Title: Reality
Post by: NuseVoice on December 29, 2006, 11:34:34 PM
REALITY

     INTRO:       
Where are we headed?
Forward? Or back into history
You already said it
Its up to you, its up to me


Don’t you know?
About the deception,
The misconception, that we are free
Yet we CAN choose to prosper
Or contend with poverty

Study the choices
Listen to elder voices
You’re rushing maturity
Now the baby is three
And you’re still in puberty

What were you thinkin’
Oh you went drinkin’?
Then you let something sink in,
Well don’t jump in the water when you can’t swim

Bad decision… More pain
Less confusion… More gain
Truths intrusion, your conclusion…
The same!!!


Don’t you know?
About the deception,
The misconception, that we are free
Yet we CAN choose to prosper
Or contend with poverty

Doing good in school, not playing the fool
Then when you’re home you on the block.
A chance at life with less strife, maybe even make that gwop
In the hood you wanna’ be blood, but now you done got shot

Coincidence? I think not
There were signs in life that you should’ve got
Use your head your heart won’t stop
The future is yours, now ya can’t turn back the clock


Bad decision… More pain
Less confusion… More gain
Truths intrusion, your conclusion…
The same!!!
