Some people want to be bigger
They want to forget who they are
They want to act like...

They grew up rich
They had a big house
That they have never heard gunshots in real life
That you never felt scared for your life
That you have never seen a car crash
That you have never seen a homeless person
That you have never seen a drunk person in the street
That you never hid your grades from your parents because your scared that you will get the belt
That you never got in a fight over pride or family
That you have never been temped to do some things that you might regret. That you have never lied about any thing to any one your whole life
Because you know you have, you know that you are guilty of all of these thing.
But they won't go away no matter how hard you try.
So, live with the fact that you are from the ghetto, and you will be just fine.
