- When you say the skies blue
- Your both still telling the truth
- The question is what would you do?
- Your son looks happy on the out, but you don’t know his in.
- You still whoop his ass for smoking because it’s a sin,
- Still caught up in society’s little spin
- But people do dumb shit for painful reasons because their HURTING WITHIN!
- So don’t go to that point
- You think punishment heals pain?
- Nah let’s add more to it, because parents are supposed to restrain.
- Parents are supposed to be discipline
- Yeah that’s what they taught
- How about you’d rather see your kid live another day instead of his hand to his head and the last thing he hears is a gun shot.
- Hah.
- Let’s talk about this boy. 18 years old first year of college, amen!

- I wonder what he feels inside.
- Someone, hello,
- Can you hear me, can you even see me,
- If I told you my story would you ever believe me?
- If I told you my life would you not judge?
- If I told u my life is fucked would you not make fun?
- I’m 18 yeah I get it
- But I’ve been through hell and back and still have to play it off like I don’t sweat it
- I still have to look happy in my day and this pain no I cant let it
- I just have to “forget it”
- Act like I don’t have feelings when my mental health is like a ball wreckin
- I hope the world learns their lesson because for me,
- living another day is a blessing
