Were i reside

 It's a shame there ain't no love in the game Mistreating who they say they out to protect But quick to forget Driven by greed, no promise is concrete Turning our faces That's why history is bond to repeat  On the streets Baby ill be there ,turns into Get it right or get left behind If you ain't down to ride Putting pressure on me Questioning my loyalty like my loyalty to myself would be disloyalty Treating me like trash if I don't Submit to Be your prize like lack of dissatisfaction i supply to you defines the unwise decisions that you decided to do I ain't no body trophy i don't keep people around me just because I Feel lonely yeah i got homies but only a few that really know me i keep it low key and watch these fakes expose themselves in time Cause they phonys Funny how money changes things friends turn into enemy its true shame How people can turn their face to crooked ways There ain't no love in the game and yea its a true shame Loyalty lies on how far your Willing to  risk your life Are you down to die.??! They keep telling me you only live once , But that ain't right I start to Question myself What Motto am I Living by ? I live everyday and leave this earth with NO One by my side I only die once I only got one life This is my chance so I ain't down to ride , you can have my slice No,no you can have my whole damn pie , I ain't about the game Because the greed brings me shame  ' I got to rename myself .Reclaim my Belt yeah I'm the champion I throw Vocal punches to your body Just Look at the welts Yea I'm self made but I ain't gone to do it this way , All I got is my soul and nobody know That how you live this life determines were you go. So I'm going to get straight and learn to live on minimum wage Educate myself cause its never to late to do something the right way Live my life as A Heavy weight Champ Going to Train my Brain Everyday I got to Step in the Ring Telling myself Don't let life pass you By You'll miss the  Whole thing Yeah i Believe in my Dreams ,like Martin Luther king  That we all can be treated Equally no matter the currency    I Don't got any Opponents I try to keep and Open Mind I know at times I close it But i cant walk around blind minded or think one sided   Before you Judge Me Take notice I Ain't trying to better then Anyone Else I'm just trying to be the Best Version of myself. Yeah you can be My audience I'm a raw poet  giving a backbone to those that are boneless I know You'll remember my words cause there Potent Its moments like these that leave an Impact To my Friends my Family and my community To Believe and Succeed Ill make My Words Concrete Scareficing my Fear Just to stand up Here heart being off beat that's why I'm up here making this speech hoping you don't just listen but actually hear me i know i know my words are bittersweet  I'm sorry this poem isn't So upbeat I Just thought i Should warn you Of the reality  of the streets.
