A Hood Mentality

My Future in your eyes (part 2)

If your eyes could talk
They'll probably scream
Your pupils speak languages
Preach non-fictional dreams
Like MLK
With Malcom x extremes
But im still staring you down
Feeling like tyler perry
Just tryna meet your browns
And from your optical
I can see your heart pound
Soul screamin for help
But you can't hear a sound
Soundless...
My reality ignorant of the rules
So it knows no bounds

So if its that we have nothing to lose
then not lookin in your eyes
is my own future I refuse

Addiction

Why is everything that suppose to be bad
Makes me feel so good
And I know im not suppose to be here now
But well maybe I think I should
I don’t even know what’s going on
But we act like everything is understood
So why is it that my girl bestfriend
Is lying next to me and holding on to my wood?

Girl, this is not right
But I always seem to fall into temptation
I swore to be a good man
But at night, her body is what im tasting
And I would sleep in all day
Like I got permanent vacation

Just give me a shot
Better yet, make it two
Cause im tryna get @#$%&@ up
So I won’t know what I do
Ever other night I steady sneaking over
But today why did I bring my car
Guess this is my mind when im not sober
So she drives by
And in the drive way is my Rover
"Baby im gonna be at the office late"
Is what ...

A Hood Mentality

Im on the corner
Feelin like a street light
Hustlin everyday
Just so I can eat right
I don’t even sleep nights
So Im feelin nocturnal
Hustla from within
So the game is internal

Raised by the street
With a goon like mentality
Best of both worlds
Hustlin with the best strategy
It's a tragedy
Well it is what you make of it
So I had to close shop
And make dough like a bakery
The boy got ’s like
Im talkin bout slavery
They handle all my problems
So it cancels all the bravery

People take life for granted
But I take if for what is worth
Tryin to make a change
But this the only way my mind works
So I respect that fact
And collects all its perks
Constantly watchin my back
Cause I be where trouble lurks

But I be duckin and dodgin
Like im straight out the matrix
