Keep it or trash it?

For most of my life, I've felt so alienated.
Jaded from the world for almost 17 years; as if I were a cicada.

I couldn't ever hack it in school so the streets is where I was educated.
But all I've learned were tragedies and everyday is another test of patience; and the more you learn, will be the less that you'll say shit.

So it'd be best to just set your mind on a goal and pray that you'll make it, because face it.
These streets are razor bladed racing to give your face lift, face it.
Living your life fast is cool, but you'd be dumb to not pace it.
Because it's likely you'd crash and leave your mark on the pavement.
