Untitled, Nigga.

I see you, nigga.
Brand new shoes ass nigga
You choose to rep a block rather your name ass nigga
You lame ass nigga, you're the same as these other niggas
Can't make your mother proud ass nigga
You think you're a down ass nigga?
Please, nigga! You're just a clown ass nigga
No jokes, no future hopes to separate from these no good ass niggas.
Every hood has the same story and you're in the picture with synonymous figures
You don't belong there, nigga!
You belong in school trying to get smarter, nigga
So you could learn that when you push life, life is going to push harder, nigga.
See, I'm where I've got to be with a job, education, and my family like it's a monopoly but I disregard the currency
And that's the difference between you and me.
Even more, you see whores and bitches where I see beautiful women.
Daughters of beautiful women. You're a pimp ass nigga.
You see dollar signs in them and walk with a limp ass nigga.
She's a scholar, signs every line with eloquent print and talks with a voice as big as an elephants print-so she is respected.
You're just an infected ass nigga with six kids because you don't know how to be a protected ass nigga. You're a rejected ass nigga
My words speak louder than your gun so my first born son is going to have an arsenal of metaphors in his genes and you're still going to be a full of envy ass nigga
Ready to die ass nigga because you're a dry ass nigga
Holy water can't TOUCH your ass nigga, ready to cry ass nigga!
I see you, nigga. Looking at me, you looking ass nigga.
The pen defines my heart and you're still falling apart ass nigga.

I wrote this as I sat in night school more than a year ago. During a lesson of Americas hypocrisy, I ignored the lesson and wrote what was around me. A classroom full of teens who cared more about advertising their gang/clique and looking fresh with fake shoes. This one time, we were passing the roll sheet around and this kid got skipped. He shouted out "AYE PASS DA ROLL SHEET, CUUHH!" Associating yourself with a gang makes you sound soooo IGNORANT!
