Grew up to be him.
Posted: Wed Dec 13, 2006 2:45 pm
this is just some shit i wrote about me n my brother.
so just give me some feed back.
a few years ago i always used to look up to my brother/
i had his same mentality but i was just a lil bit younger/
my pops wasnt home or my mother/
so i understanded his grind,putin food on the table to maintain my hunger/
i used to come out of skool and see him infront of the building/
doing narcotic sales but not infront of the children/
i observed his game making money of the empire he was buildin/
i used to look out the window late at night, seein him smoking blunts drinkin liquer n gettin payed off the dice/
he said, he and his money will always stick together like beans n rice/
he handed me a cross n toled me evryday before i go to sleep to pray to jesus christ/
so i started to pray,days by days/
so one day i asked him why dosent he never got nothing to say/
he laughed at me and said,he only can hear u/
but if u stick with him u can feel him n he always will be near u/
he said never to be loved,but love when niggas fear u/
and he walked out the door/
in that moment i felt somethin weird in my heart but i wasnt shure/
unexplainable cuz it was buried in the core/
then i heard 5 shots,who would thought i was to see my brother lien on the floor/
in these harsh streets/
layin in a puddle of blood that slowly flowed on the concrete/
EMT tryed to save him but they just lossed him/
word on the streets was that his own man double crossed him/
what i learned, is what i was toled son/
that moment i knew i was gonna live by trusting no one/
staring at his picture,thinking bout why would he be the one dien
looking at a red sky thats cracked down the middle,with dead birds flyin/
i droped a tear on his casket, while staring over his coffin/
knowing that i wasnt gonna see him more often/
my heart froze turned into solid gold,and completely became cold,and i was only 12 yrs old/
now this is a true story thats never been toled/
as years went by i remained quit and silent/
who the fuck would of thought i would grow up to be so violent/
i still felt disgraced knowing that i will never see his face/
so i felt like i had to take his place/
now im the one hustlin infront of the building in the same spot selling pot/
smoking blunts n drinking liquer making gwop/
cuz he aint here i feel kind of disabled/
but now i got the responsibility of putting food on the table/
the day he left it was a great loss/
till this same day i pray on the same cross/
feeling the light penetratin in deeper/
feeling it in the air, i practicly could see the grim reaper/
knowing these niggas is out here to hate/
hopin i wont go in a early state/
but when i go, just meet me in pearly gates/
