.

in my eyes i see a world full of hurt, n misery..

as a black person, better yet a person from ah urban area were fucked..

the younger generation is fulled with anger n rage..

the big question is were are the role models, fathers.. im not putting it on them but were are the people teaching right from wrong.. in my eyes its a war goin on with right and wrong..

its easy to do the wrong thing but hard to do the right..

When has it been cool to be smokin weed at 12, or havin your first child at 15..

whats cool about chillen in the hood getting fucced up.. or robbing or shooting another person.

As ah young adult i realize my actions dont only effect me, it could affect the young person who wants to be like me such as my nephew.. it pisses me of because as a person from the hood we push each other to do more negativity, we push each other to go above and beyond to do something wrong.. yea it may be fun n all but were only hurting ourselfs n its sad..

we use our freedom in all the wrong ways.. i asked my grandmother " why do you dislike white people"? n she told me i couldnt go out like yall could, or do the majority of the shit because white people would hunt us down n try to kill us..

Fast forward 50 years look how much its changed.. our parents parents would be doin everything the right way.. were killing our selfs by the poor decisions we make, let alone being tempted of the lifestyles of the gangs, n drug dealin..

we owe it to our grandparents plus all the people who faught for the freedom we have.. In my eyes they did the shit for nothin.. in my eyes when has it been cool to know a beyonce song but dont know your ABC's.. this shit gotta stop cause its alot of death in newark, irvington, EO , ex..

In my eyes alot of people would still be living or outta jail if they look at wat they were doing fully.. or simply just say no.. Saying NO woulda kept that young girl from getting pregnant,...
