Felix's little story


I feel sick; I think I need a clenex I got a brother going to college; I’m trying to be next I didn’t even introduce myself, hi my name is Felix Being famous, I wish I would If the world was a sweater you’ll find me at the hood Because I that’s the only place I know Being by the ghetto and chillin by skid row I’ve seen people do weed, crack, and rock from L.A to Carson When I said rock don’t think I’m talking about Dwayne Johnson Got a Dad who sick, so he takes his medication We Mexican so I guess we get the medicine that’s on its expiration Because that’s the life we live on We only got the cure to the flu unlike Magic Johnson Cause homie got the cure to AIDS It only apply to the people who’s paid Don’t look at us broke figures, focus on the people of the NBA My life makes twist and turns; I swear it’s only one way Let’s make a movement give it a –ism I’m Mexican so an arrow is pointing at prison My mama I’ma buy her that ford And buy her that house that we couldn’t afford She’s on this earth so I got to thank the lord My favorite hobby that’s skating With the homies and were never debating just relating Tell me why when I was little I had hair like a mushroom Tell me, have you ever slept with 2 other people in one small room? I experience that every day, it aint the nicest Tell why every other month my fam experiences a crisis I hardly dream big Because dreams from were I’m from are under this word like twigs Dreams and reality that’s two things that’s hard to lid Silly Felix, Trix are for kids I rush through things so fast, I need to pause give it a comma My goal . Is to get my diploma. I’m thirsty I need a drink give me a toma(drink in Spanish) I love life even though my ain’t perfect I’m doing good in school, call me a circuit Money yeah I get a little bit The only reason I’m writing this poem is because college, I can’t afford it. I hope it was sweet like Hershey’s When you read this please give me some mercy Not the Kanye song Me living my dream that’s extraordinarily long
