life in the streets

One can never tell how things will go when you're living your life on the edge. One minute you're making money,having sex,shoot outs,fighting,you know the "fast life". The fast life will show you a good time with less boring days. Like a coin there's two sides. The other side is where the pain is. That is the part we hide. I remember days standing on the block 25/8 with out going to sleep because the money was coming in good. Growing up in the projects were it aint nothing to really do but things you are not pose to. So when i turned 13years old my dad got locked up so i made my own choice an decided to be in the streets so thats what i did. Late nights when i aint never come i never thought about how my mom was feeling an what she was thinking. Oneday i remember walking in the house and hearing my mom crying because i was always out in the streets an was never home an she always thought when she heard gun shots and a knock on the door it was going to be someone telling her i got shot
