Hourglass

Best friend got cancer now i can’t stop crying
You ever sat & felt like you were just pressed for time,
You ever checked that account & saw not a dime,
You ever lost your nerve, then rebuilt your spine,
You ever got your heartbroken, then got back on your grind,
Ever got cheated on by a girl who said “you mine,”
You ever felt like a bother even though they didn’t mind,
You ever kept it pushing even though you rather whine,
Ever needed a lot of help, so mama sent a lifeline,
You ever looked at people different cause of all of their lying,
Your heart turn cold cause your loved ones dying,
Well i did

Let all this pain out,
I let the tears rain now,
It’s overflowing all the floors cause i ain’t got a drain now,
Looking at my expressions, my face so plain now,
Wasn’t really aware that i had all this know-how,
Excuse me,
Do you not see me struggling,
You rather walk past, nod it off, shoulder-shrugging,
I guess you just heartless, I guess you mean-mugging,
For a reason,
High treason,
I’m teasing,
Am I really?
These are dark times, hard days, happiness Thrown away,
Wish my daddy would’ve stayed,
Cept he rather sell dope & make a play,
In the streets, wtf,
You got a son, you got a daughter, you had a life, interrupt,
Just gone, out the window, set ablaze, light a candle, what’s your handle, got a plan, “yeah, smoke with randle,”
Wtf,

Like huh,
Is that the extent of your wishes,
You need a clean plate your life is dirty dishes,
Maybe that’s why you’re sleeping with the mf fishes,
Maybe that’s why you can’t claim any riches,
Why you rather ram your car into all of these ditches,
But I’ll stop,
On to the next, like where is my check,
Where is my respect, where are all the ones who don’t show neglect,
Where are all the ones who can help me inspect,
These perils,
This ill will & happenstance,
I forgot people haven’t intelligence,
They carry a strap tho,
Walk off that porch, with a pistol & dope,
They make it hard for the normal man to cope,
Make a sane mf wanna smoke,
Make a single mom wanna grab a gun & croak,
But oh well,

Here i am,
Back again,
Can you really grasp what is happening,
Can you look at me & comprehend?
I guess not,
Hear my message,
I wonder why people aren’t protected,
So trifling, so needy, so rude, so intrepid,
But I’m the one who’s a glass half empty?
But I’m the one who’s never right I’m the lefty,
Like what can I really say,
My words will be misconstrued anyway,
Then the change hits,
The good turns bad, the bad gets worse, i can’t even go in the store without an insult about my shirt,
Like what am I worth,
What is all the quirk,
I didn’t even clock in for work,
Seeing all the fake smiles & the smirks,
