Brief Lesson For Dumb Motherf**kers
How dare someone have the audacity to say that kids like me have no ambition and potential.
That we have no respect for education, all we do is kill each other and feed into drugs and gang violence statistics. This is for all those who believe I won’t make it with my background.
I come from one of the poorest countries, all of our kids don’t get into school. Our girls are sold and raped for walking around at 7 in the evening. Police officers will stop you on the side of the road and harass you for money, you just don’t want to get beat. I moved to the hills with my mother and her...

What The Hood Taught Me
-check for that cold metal in his waist
-cars only drive slow to aim
-he loves me for those dollars
-eyes will tell the story
-justice is a blue moon
-funerals over graduations
-weed means I'm home
-innocence invites trouble
-no such thing as family
-nobody sees anything
-valued for the price of the night
-barbeques for lost ones
-henny while blasting sum
-emotions are optional
-tinted life deep red
-mixtapes at each corner
-gang signs are art
-graffiti is beauty

I See His Bitch Ass
how do i say this?
when the bullet flew,
i was grateful
he was gone
but
i feel him
he lives
touching my hair
grazing my cheeks
slapping my ass
he is heavy
i don't see him
i feel him
how do i say this?
i'm crazy
thanks to
him.

Late Nights ft. Us
you were beautiful
but, i was unsure
especially of your eyes
sometimes
there was a darker light
pouring out through the fight
each time you hurt me
i wanted to imagine
if i had the baby
would you still love me?

"f**k Me and See"
there's a difference
you know i'm naive
lead me to believe
that you’ll teach me about my body
it feels worse since you touched it
you promise that's only because it's new
doesn't feel better any later
when i left
all i had was soreness and regrets
