Harlem

These kids don't understand there purpose of being brought into the hood, growin up seeing the same garbage bag sit there for weeks and no garbage man/women around,

no one cares to place it in it's proper place, seeing the same drug dealer purswadin you in buyin his product,

he say it's gudd I'll give yu a sample for just a dollaa, crack heads wondering the street to inform yu about how tough and sweet they'll be,

if yu just slang that Cain there way, shooters does more target practice then actual practice for the team they practice for,

no matter wat it was basketball, football, soccer, or dodge ball,

before they turn there eye balls towards the steel, lost young brothers and sisters gettin involved with the gang violence goin on,

Doing time for being tough not understanding there are better things in the world then just being in Harlem struggling to survive off luck,

and goin through the shit starting from the bottom of the sewer, you start at the bottom make it to the top,

but I'll start from the dirt and go past the universe, it's good to know our minds are bound to think for itself,

but when those who lost themselves along the path find the ground to stand again has to base there understanding on the fact that they'll  make it In this world if they just, 

stand their ground look around and be themselves, life is just a battle field, the survival tactic is to not end up on someones memory shelf,
