Smoke fills the room I see killers and thugs Mob bosses and goons Remember this one fact about life Never trust a female Cause a female lies Keep enemys close cuz friends switch sides When reality gets live They turn their backs I ask why? My lil' homie is gone He got rocked to sleep While he was hustlin' on the block They let off five shots Now funeral time Not a single tear I guess I was kind of happy to still be here While his death tore me inside As I hit the road I called my babygirl, there was no response I rolled up to the door step but she changed all the locks The only explanation I got was that she loved me, but I had to stop I had to play it safe make sure I dont get cased I got a baby girl to think about and a girl who loves to stay laced One who was there for me when life got hot One who kept me safe From the po-po's rollin' up the block For what, I ask why? Now Iam all alone No place to call my home And still I wonder why We live such trife lives Filled with drama and hate Paraphanilia sales by weight Lil' homies dying over green pape And now the story ends Keep this in mind my friend This is life's trial You either playit safe Or you get cased [This message has been edited by TrueLUV (edited 04-12-2001).] |

TrueLUV~ I dont know what to say about this one. I hung around with gangs for a long time. And the way you portray them to be isnt what they were. Lots of people do drugs but they arent all gangsta's. You mix druggies in with gangsters. They are two different things. The druggies cant go without the drugs and the gangsters arent all murderers. Other then my OPINION its a really good poem. P.S.~ALL FEMALES DONT LIE! [This message has been edited by ERIN (edited 04-12-2001).] |

I'm sorry that you have to go thru such an event in your life. Loosing a friend is never easy for anyone. I do believe that generalizing about certain individuals or groups is not always , and actually most of the time false. But in the other hand, you did a good job on this piece.

This poem really blew me away. It made me have to sit back and think.. very nicely done, True. You expressed yourself so powerfully. Nice job. --Marie subconsciously, i think i can eat so much to make my stomach hurt, instead of my heart. |
