Sunsets On Nice Days

Being a bigger person sometimes make you feel small
Despite equations stating that you're eight feet tall
Causing you to wanna crawl in the mud like a hardened thug  
Reality being that you just want your respect and a hug
 
So you chug-a-lug while conversing with some spirits  
Or rely on other vices so that you're numb to the bullshit  
It ain't lit being nice after learning its etymology  
Although today's meaning doesn't translate synchronistically  
 
Now you perceive it as more of an insult than praise  
Causing conflicted thoughts about how you were raised  
It only pays dividends when they appreciate who you are  
Many days the Sun's rays set and left you in the dark  
 
Seeking a spark on the horizon in order to persevere  
Cause having a heart leaves marks in the front and the rear
So you attempt to veer clear from whom make you feel dumb
Revelations from previous situations provides probable outcomes
 
Some will pull on your heart strings then play you like a fiddle
Til you put em their place like Moni in the middle  
Unlike a pup in a kennel placed inside of a cage
Gotta remove your muzzle and unleash your rage  
 
Whether it be poetic on a page or engaged in fisticuffs  
Smudge out your sage when you've finally had enough  
You've gotta be rough and tough as you erect boundaries  
Living your life like a warrior instead of a ho on your knees
