Hate, murder and deceit.
You'll die from diabetes if these other poets wrote it.
You can't choose your demise, so choose your words wisely.
Hard to strive when it's so uncommon to prosper.
When poverty plagues over 50 percent of the population.
Mouth full of cavities from the stories the news portrays.
Murder and blood sugar coated with glory.
So I quote these rappers cuz it's all I know.
Like no rolemodels and I'm here right now, no role models to speak of.
Searchn through my memory, my memory's blank.
A blanket of hate concealed my face. Maybe he was there with a blank stare and a faint care like the world has for one person.
Our problems aren't worth much until it'sa life lost, another story to fill the headlines.
In the end we're just words written one letter at a time.
I've become obsessed with the need to write mine so you can read it one word at a time before I meet my demise.
Before I reach these headlines.
