These Days

I hang with my friends and we walking through town.

Not even bad kids but still mess around.

I rap on the mic cuz I like the sound.

Making my money in different accounts.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kids try to fight but that's not what I do.

I don't wanna fight bro I don't even know you.

Mess with me then you mess with my crew.

No gang hate, not the red or the blue.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These days, minds are jacked up.

Kids on the streets, they are just stuck.

I look around, and my brain got struck.

They are just worried bout finding a plug.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thinking they thugs.

Doing the drugs.

Then they get caught. Put the damn hands up.

Stuck on the streets they not giving a fuck.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that is just sad.

Blame on his dad that he never had.

Walked into prison then he got stabbed.

Now he living life with a scar on his back.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These days. Gain faith.

Walk down a path like it's a corn maze.

You gotta be smart, You gotta embrace.

Stay in the game. But keep a good pace.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we could be peaceful, having no hate.

We'd all be happy. All celebrate.

It would be period. Never debate.

Put an effort in man like don't hesitate.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thinkin bout now. Thinkin bout later.

Going up in the industry like an elevator.

I be workin so hard to stack up on the paper.

Sometimes, I see the sign say danger.

These days

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is this the world or is it a dream?

I am just thinking it's not what it seems.

Regular dude. Celebrity dreams.

I'm making my goals and I will achieve.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suicide rates. They going up.

People die everyday and we givin them up.

People cry everyday they eyes are just rushed.

Think about the moments of your broken trust.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I'm writing a script.

Pencil and paper im fully equipped.

I don't have good luck so I'm making a wish.

I know. Call it childish.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And I used to hold my grandmothers hands.

But I was too young to know it's the end.

Now I will cherish the time that we spent.

But I'm over it now and I won't pretend.
