Short Verse

a teen infatuated with cream, never had dreams
always hung out with the wrong crowd in the streets
never believed an education would lead
a prosperous life through a college degree
captivated by glamorous, hollywood fame
couldn't refrain from watchin television all day
his mindset wasn't hard to explain
a school dropout, unable to maintain good grades
reality never sunk in but in back of his mind
constant thoughts of livin a life of crime
standin on streets corners from 9 to 5
an ambition and drive just to sell a dime
some call it survive, only to find more struggle
poisoning lives is what we doin to each other
never get trapped inside the games of a hustler
always hung out with the wrong crowd in the streets
never believed an education would lead
a prosperous life through a college degree
captivated by glamorous, hollywood fame
couldn't refrain from watchin television all day
his mindset wasn't hard to explain
a school dropout, unable to maintain good grades
reality never sunk in but in back of his mind
constant thoughts of livin a life of crime
standin on streets corners from 9 to 5
an ambition and drive just to sell a dime
some call it survive, only to find more struggle
poisoning lives is what we doin to each other
never get trapped inside the games of a hustler
