My Biggest Fear
 
Rest in peace Nigga….
But not too deep Nigga…..
Cuz' in these streets, if you sleep, that's yo' life Nigga

I remember when Cisco was the fad
Hangin' out on corners drinking 40's from the bag
But now in my neighborhood and yours,
Niggas done turned into crackheads, and cocaine whores
Robbin' liquor stores for lute to buy nickel sacks and dime bags
And those colorful rags they sport….leaving no money for child support
They say in the system they are caught
 
So they take another sip of gin and juice because...

I REMEMBER…
 
R U Crying or laughing
Not laughing just smiling
Not smiling just pretending to smile
Pretending like a child….playing make believe
But I do believe
In laughter and smiles
I remember them from when I was young
Back when life was fun
Back when living was fun
Before the days of beatdowns and carrying guns
Before the days of hating priests and nuns
Before the days of sodomy and premature cum
Before the days of innocence lost
A monsters pleasure at a child's cost
Keeping secrets children shouldn't have...
