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
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
