Trapped in the Mindset
Fast money in this home of dysfunction
The only love we've ever known
Flashy chains of assumptions
Bond around the neck
Respect, is a privilege
It earned never given
Snitches get stiches
The motto to hood living
Spinning wheels of deception
Leaving young minds wishing
Evidence of the weapons
Used for mass destruction
Outlined with white chalk
Is never the discussion
“We don’t die we multiplyâ€
Stated from the fallen foot soldiers
NO help wanted
Just open graves
Trapped in the mindset

funny how hell is described in the movies. to some it might be a summer camp compared to the everyday grind of reality.
