Deep Thought
Khalil said there's some people I'm better than
My mama said I'm gonna cross some people I can't stand
Grandma said to keep hold to my faith
Stand strong and don't cry when the shyt hits the fan
Cuz it will....
Papa beat me almost every night
And blamed my gender for every fight
Got knocked out once, could've sworn I was dead
But my guardian angel's grip on my life was way too tight
Cuz I ain't dead yet....
Pa kicked me out and Ma took his side
But somehow now I can understand why
I didn't have shyt but the clothes on my back
I made them believe I was all good, but I lied
I know I wasn't that bad....
Dealt with a rich drug dealer for a long point in time
He loved me so well; he found my love hidden on the inside
But I left him cuz material things blinded my vision
Damn, I felt like I was gonna die
But I ain't gonna cry....
Oldest brother killed himself
And damn near jeopardized my health
30 to life; he told me he was gonna do it
I wish I could've switched the hand of cards he was dealt
But I can't save the world....
Kicking it with a new guy who's changing my life
He brings me much ease, and a lot less strife
Starting to love this boy, but that's my little secret
Sometimes picturing me being his wife
It's just a thought; not that serious....
I'm learning the capabilities of my own mind
The best poetry comes when I sit back and unwind
I think of all the crap I've seen and feel empowered
I must be an alien cuz there's no one on Earth close to my kind
At least none I can find....
