I WALK AROUND WITH THIS LOOK ON MY FACE
PEOPLE ASK ME WHY AINT U WITH YOUR RACE
MOST OF THE TIME I DON’T EVEN REPLY
CUZ I KNOW WHEN I KNOW WHY
I HAVE MUG ON MEAN

YOU SEE IT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR YOUNG
WHEN U SHOULD BE HAVING FUN
YOU DON’T EVEN NOTICE IT THEN
BUT LATER YOU WILL LOKK BACK AND SAY MANE
THAT’S WHERE IT ALL STARTED………
MUG ON MEAN

NOW THAT I’M OLDER I MUST STOP AND WONDER
WHY PEOPLE DRAG YOU UNDER,
KEEP YOU FROM TIGHT,SITI’N DAAARK AS NIGHT
THEY ALL STAREAND WHISPER AFRIAD TO SPEAK.
NOT NOWING WHY……
MUG ON MEAN

SEE THIS IS A EXPRESION ON YOUR FACE
SOMETIMES AS IF YOU WERE SPRAYED BY MACE
FOR SOME RESON I’M MAD AT THE WORLD
I BEEN DOWN A LONG HARD ROAD TO GET HERE.
TO TEL YALL WHY…..
MUG ON MEAN

SEE IT IS LIKE A TRAGIC MOVIE,BUT SOMEBODY WOULD WANT TO SUE ME
I COULD WRITE A BOOK IF I NEW WHERE TO LOOK
I BEEN HERE I BEEN THERE,I WAS A HUSLER WHO DID’NTCARE.
PEOPLE ALWAYS LOOK BUT NEVER SPEEK
THINKING THAT THEY R TO WEAK SAYIN “HE AINT TRYIN TO HEAR”
YOU SEE THAT IS A RESON WHY…..
MUG ON MEAN

I’M A YOUNGSTA THEY SAY,21 AND I ALREADY HAD IT MY WAY
BUT YOU SEE EVERYONE SAY’S HE A THUG NOT KNOWING HE GOT LOVE
DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT’S COVER, U L HEAR & U MIGHT MAKE IT.
IF U DON’T HEED THEN I WILL TAKE IT
I GET SO TIRED THAT I DON’T CARE,SO I HAVE THIS SILENT STAR….
MEAN MUG

I GOT ARRESTED AND WENT TO PRISON
THAT’S WERE IF U ARE SMART YOU WILL LISTEN
NOT TO WHAT PEOPLE SAY BUT ABOUT YOURSELF
CUZ SOMEBODY GONNA TRY TO TAKE YOU OFF THE SHELF
BE REAL STAY DOWN FOR U AND MAYBE IT WILL COME TRUE
LIFE IN THA HOOD USED TO BE ALL GOOD
BUT EVERYONE WANNA HOLDU DOWN…..
MUG ON MEAN

IF YOU SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING
RUN BFORE THEY START CAPING
CUZ U CANT WAIT TILL U GET HIT TO LEARN WHO U WITH
FIND YOURSELF, NEVER START LOOKING
CUZ I’M 21 GOING ON 40, ONLY KNOWING IT STARTED EARLY
AND THAT’S WHY THIS POETIC THUG GOT HIS….
MUG ON MEAN

"BUT YOU SEE EVERYONE SAY’S HE A THUG NOT KNOWING HE GOT LOVE"

Everyone's got love, you just need to let that side out more.
Sounds like you're looking for that path, and those around you want to drag you down.
God gives each one of us the strength to over come that, to rise above it.

WELCOME to Passions!

but I know Who holds the future.

I'm reading between the lines, and I see someone who has been taught a very hard lesson growing up before his time. I welcome you here in passions look forward to more, I think you really have alot to share, very expressive writing, afterall poetry does open the heart and help us to breath.

Sometimes we are taught our lessons so young in life, and through those lessons we learn. Welcome to passions. *s*

Enjoy life...this is NOT a dress rehearsal. *s*

"NOW THAT I’M OLDER I MUST STOP AND WONDER
WHY PEOPLE DRAG YOU UNDER,"
I think sometimes the people who try to drag you under are not really doing it out of cruelty or mean spiritedness....I think perhaps it's done on some level out of self protection.....they feel so bad about themselves they need to try to place others below them in order to feel good about their own place in life?
I'm new to Passions but I feel safe in saying that if you stick around here for a while all these wonderful people may be able to help you turn that "mean mug" into a smiling mug!!
