Spoken Word: My Poems and Thoughts

Spoken Word | Nobody's Safe

I ain't restin til I get my message through to you ignorant and stubborn mf's.

Too much crazy shit goin on in life and yall worried about the little things.

Material things.

That ain't all what life's about.

You can flaunt everything you got, won't nobody care. They'll just pop a hot one in you just for runnin your mouth.

It ain't safe in these streets. Not even for them little ones.

Scared to grow up because of the fear of guns.

Nobody's safe.

Grandma gets shot up in her home because her son ain't tell her he was in depth with his dope dealer.

Oh why'd they have to kill her?

Nobody's safe.

Mama strugglin to feed her two babies. 4 and 8.

She can't remember the last time a man asked her on a real date.

She strippin. Just to pay the rent.

But behind closed doors, all she wants to do is vent.

But the guy who claim to love her beats her.

Beats on her kids and threatens that he'll leave her.

She don't want him leave cause he's the only way she's livin.

He's the only one puttin food up in her kitchen.

Nobody's safe.

Lil Tommy goes to school with am empty stomach but his head is full of smarts.

He has the ability to become whatever he wants. His talent is an art.

But what his teachers fail to realize, is that under his sleeves, he's hiding bruises.

His friends ask him "What happened to your arm?" But he answers with excuses.

In reality he's been fightin a battle with his drunken father

Who beats on his wife, his son, and rapes his own daughter.

Damn. Nobody's safe.

Lil Tonya's on the run.

Tryna find a way out but the trouble has just begun.

She's pregnant with her stepfather's son.

But he made her feel guilty, "Bitch look what you've done!"

"If your mom finds out I've been sneakin in yo room ima kill you!"

So what was a girl supposed to do?

She just keeps runnin and runnin until her feet gets tired.

She stops to catch her last breath as she hears a screech from car tires...

Nobody's safe.
