Born 1983

Last of a dying breed, greed, felt envy still this sh*t was born in me , 80s baby drove my momma  and these ladies crazy, always and for ever f**k you pay me, crack era, born terror, the epidemic was us white people full of disgust, for the white people there is no trust, last generation who really played these streets, knew how to suffer when there was heat and made ends meet, first to play video games, recorded songs off the radio on cassette just for the fame, walked miles with no worries of ever being snatched and still to this day if it itch it's getting scratched, programmed vcrs, with atari and nintendo we dreamed our names in the srars, this world was a fu**ing ours, the generaton of tom and jerry, looney toons, and disney, these kids today running around dizzy, traveled in cars with no seat belts air bags or click -it s, now all these younguns do is want to smoke and kick-it gt it honest is only inherited, never knew the impact , for my kids I am scared of it, an age with no cell phines, flat screens or internet lookin at me calling me a vet, but I know in they mind they just don't get it yet, 80's baby
