THIS POEM IS ABOUT PEOPLE THINKING WE WONT MAKE IT WHEN WE ALREADY MADE IT.
YOU THOUGH I WAS DEFEATED

AFTER ALL THE CUSSIN,
AFTER ALL THE BEEFIN'/
PRAYERS AND HEAL TIMES WEREN'T NEEEDED/
SHEDDING TEARS AND BLEEDIN'/
I SHUN AND TOLD THE PIMP AND PLAYER DATERS/
I SHUN AND TOLD THE PAPER CHASERS/
I SHUN AND TOLD THE PRAYER HATERS/
RIGHT IN THIER FACES..
"YOU THOUGHT I WAS DEFEEATED"
WHETHER OR NOT I GO MY OWN S-H-I-T/
I DONT DO STUFF RANDOMLY,
I ACCOMPLISH MY GOALS IN NUMERICAL ORDER AND WISELY/
YOU MAY HAVE MORE,
AND I MAY HAVE A FEW/
I WILL DO IT WITH OR WITHOUT YOU/
WHETHER ITS IN THE MORNING/
NIGHTFALL
OR IN THE AFTERNOON/
I MADE IT BEFORE AND I WILL MAKE IT AFTER YOU/
YOU THOUGHT I WAS DEFEATED,
WHEN YOU SEEN CRAOSSIN BORDERS LOOKING 4 A LIFE/
AFTER YOU CROSSED MY BOUNDERIES LOOKING FOR A FIGHT/
IM STILL HERE,
AND WE ARE STILL STANDING,
WE ARE STILL BREATHING/
YOU THOUGHT WE WERE DEAD,
BUT WERE WERE JUST SLEEPING/
WE WILL WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE OF DEATH AND HATRED/
AND WE WILL MAKE IT/
AND IGNORE THE SHADOWS THAT BE CREEPIN/
I SEE YOU ALL GOT IT TWISTED,
YOU JUST THOUGHT I WAS DEFEATED/

nobody home cookin for me,
nobody out there watching out or lookin for me/my grandma said,
granson ,u is gonna make it/
challenge me ,give it to me hadrdcore,
an ima take it/
goals and motivations/
i aint playin'/
nethier am i fakin'/
enemies flashing their goodies at me,
and turnin' heads at us,
still prayin'/
and i aint hatin'/
i have my own developed laws and regulations/
when you take my rules and break it/
thats when ima take your spine or metal stick and ima break it/
thats when i know gods purpose and plans are 4 me ,he make no mistakes/
your potentials are amazin'/
but those who cross my line/
wish me harm,
write my name or report it with lies,
i will take your wishbone and snap it in half
and your knees will be all shaken/
all that starts right before you clse my case and tell me...
"nas you are on your own!"/
crashing down obstacles alone down on my road/
strengthen my hunger and my soul/
and thats when i will see you at the crossroads/
and that was the last time i was bitcchin'/
cause you wont even listen/
u got it twisted /
if you think i wont talking in action,
after words your puzzle pieces will be missin'/
readers ..
im tryna help you to open your eyes so u can you can untwist the rope that
the smash in your face about/

AFTER ALL THE CUSSIN,

agencies tryna help us on our feet/
but you can see and believe/
that the counselors and social workers got
nice cars/
nice house/
and a nice outfit/
but can you feel the heat/
your heart bleed /
and sometimes they wont follow thier job policy/
filling your guts with scars/
from their bad mouth/
and you wanna clench your fist/

but as long as they get paid and they got family/
they dont care if you got one or two kids/
they keep their stuff and not give to you/
they dont want you to make it/
your social workers do for you/
thier payroll at thier job is payin/
leave you hanging/
once you made it/
thats when they start hatin/
and underestimatin/
you can turn around with your chin up and let them know that they got it twisted/

the stuff that i do.....
im tryan put away my troubles/
when ever i meet new people/

it aint easy..trust it.

cause jehovah our father god is watching our struggles/
and how we treat people/

wither you is nice or sleezy..trust it.

some people with cars and houses/
can be our friends and not open thier hearts to and help us out/
then who are we to run into/
if the real friends wont help you pay rent,
give them money so that they can get cute and got to a club and get drunk/
give them money get cute look sexy go out and get some/
give them money get huge and look flexy and go out and get crunk/
than come back and look down on you and still be your friend.


i can make make a mistake/
and be judged,
but i wish the the mishaps you made/
is had for me to 4give,
cause you make it seem like i dont do shit/
just 4 helping me out/
everybody say my counselors get paid/
sometimes i run into them else where/
and when i see 'em ,
i dont know if they are takin care of biznizz or getting paid/
or gettin laid/
some grown folks put their manicured fingers in my face/
i scratch my head tryna avoid a sweatdrop down my forehead
cause they getting tough with me right where i stand/
and when i stan i watch them lecture me, and i see that they new hair styles every week or two
professionla counselors getting paid for not helpin g others out,
but judge them, cut off their ebt cards/ close their ssi / call cps/ over some small senseless stuff.
but god works in mysterious ways/
thats why you see me walking around like nothings bothering me/
cause when i get lost ,i find my way/
i boost up/
and i know im not the one thats gonna make it, which i have already did.

AFTER ALL THE CUSSIN,
AFTER ALL THE BEEFIN'/
PRAYERS AND HEAL TIMES WEREN'T NEEEDED/
SHEDDING TEARS AND BLEEDIN'/
I SHUN AND TOLD THE PIMP AND PLAYER DATERS/
I SHUN AND TOLD THE PAPER CHASERS/
I SHUN AND TOLD THE PRAYER HATERS/
RIGHT IN THIER FACES..
