Untitled Ranting

A black kid from Chicago, Stereotypical right? Shooters and gangbangers, Just an ordinary sight. Drug deals and pain pills, Just a part of the life. Kids get killed daily, Society a be alright. Pants sagging and weave dragging, That’s what make us all cool. Got to have that cash, To be leader of the new school. Got to be bad, Can’t afford to follow the rules. West side versus south side, We shoot to kill don’t be no fool. But who ever said, That this life was okay? Whoever said it’s okay, For increased death rates? Whoever said I had to be, What society depicts? Well… I’m not… See me, I got a high school diploma, With my name on the front Put it in a frame Just to keep my spirits up Sitting in college I still like to party But my proudest achievement Standing magna cum laude Don’t let society depict Your limits on life Do anything you want Do good, make a strive Keep your head held high Look in the mirror and smile But, whatever you do Put the guns down.
