Real Shit

Bar
*************************************
Hard to find someone down to earth, known about real shit since birth. I'm not blind just sometimes I choose to not think about the crazy shit like getting abducted and knocked out with cyanide. Only opened my eyes when watching the news about some dude trying that shit in my neighborhood. On my way to class next stop english walking through the breezeway and you wouldn't believe this a deal going down before my eyes. What's happened to this world and the poor brainwashed children with nothing but drugs and money on their minds? Not even surprised anymore when I see people with blunts up on the media. People always making jokes and don't realize how this real this shit is until forced to believe it by witnessing it first hand believe me this shit will make you choke. This is the real shit going on around us get used to it, get your head out the books we're no longer in wonderland. Women and men can't walk down the street with out always being on their feet. Every second looking over their shoulder thinking about all the bed time stories, all these things their mothers had told em that used to bore them. Always ready for some shit to happen this ain't no school fight no time for clapping. Just a young girl rapping not born for this but been brought to this. Here to teach you shit that nowadays would appear to be common logic. Memories of when I was innocent little kid got me nostalgic. Sitting in class second grade with my homies talking bout our new barbies. Now only plastic we talking about is the ones in celebrities bodies. These days natural is seen hardly, all these fake perceptions of perfection. These days hard to walk down the street without hearing someone asked if they blood or a crip. All these young kids wishing they could just know the streets but instead the streets knowing them. Staying inside most the time cuz then I don't gotta walk down the street with the thought of something crazy going down in the back of my mind. All these people still just kids and have a life to live. But throwing it away to seem cool, diving into the real world so young without even knowing who they are or what they come from. Witnessed crazy shit in my short time and reality always on my mind. People selling their bodies for a dime to feed their families and not see the suffering in their eyes. These days no ones truly kind, they all have a dark side. So blinded by the lies we know what's really going on don't need no windows to hide behind. But if we all knew this cruel world would get harsher there's just too many imposters. Guess ignorance might be our bliss but in reality we still miss.
