High School

In 9th grade I thought I had it made I did what I want when I wanted and I did it my way

Get laid an get paid was my motto everyday an slowly but surely I saw the responsibilities I once valued fade away

School days went by and they all ended in detentions an suspensions because every single day class is what I was missing on top of that my grades were slipping an I pretended to care an my ass is what I had everybody kissing

But there came a change

A girl who will remain unnamed

She turned my world upside down everyday wit her I never frowned me and her were the talk of the town I turn left I turn right and everybody tried to bring us down but in the end it came to an end because old habits came into play an started all over again

I felt nothing but guilt nothing but pain an in a moment of intimacy I felt nothing but shame

I was being eaten alive by my pride an my lies so time after time when I said she was mine was at the time no other on my mind then I'd sigh lean to the side and wonder why I cheated

But at that time I had moved to another school which didn't help much because I still felt like a fool I thought I was cool

This time I was the new guy

I had to put my stamp on yet another school but I digress because it's cool I stood up in front of the class feeling like a fool because they "ashay" an "yebo" an I ain't know what to do

The first week was real neat in English I had to get a blank sheet of paper an write lyrics to a song an then we had to sing I was being low key nervous an all these people I didn't know at all I let out the first verse of one of my favorite songs

After me singing end of the road everywhere I went no one would leave me alone I got to admit it I loved the attention but still didn't know too many people so I stayed kind of distant

The next year I moved on but continued at the school as a sophomore I saw more whores than the school before an their temptations I endured oh lord I thought I wouldn't last because between they face thighs an ass I walked around wit a brick in my pants but I digress for the best

Thought I would play ball but I made the wrong call suspended for week wit no record at all I didn't think it through before I hit that bul so off the team I was

I was down in the dumps I felt so stuck so back to the old me I stopped giving a fuck I had sex an did drugs sold a bit on the side got robbed a couple times an jumped because I was a lone soldier wit no niggas to ride

But the ride was fun I had a gun from no man did I run I laughed I sighed sometimes I cried because wit every sip of ciroc an every hit of the haze I died inside an in my mind while my eyes glazed an I was in a daze it turned to a lifestyle that evolved from a phase I was that bul known by many names stories about me an my accolades had come in an come out like the tide does the waves but since I saw myself slipping I decided to make a change

What could I do I decided to move I had everything to gain an nothing to lose I wanted to make a name for myself because my pride gave me everything to prove so once school was out I put my life on cruise

Back to the burbs I went an a year I spent not getting high or wasted or getting bent

Didn't hit the hoes didn't follow my friends because my life was overrun like I was being dictated like I was under Hitler or under Fidel so I got into a position that you know feeble Got my life right got it tight by these girls I was sideswiped they caught my eye everywhere like I need an intervention but my intuition blinded my peripheral vision so I was on a mission to take a licking an keep on sticking because my own path I was picking an back I was sitting but yet a again my grades slipping but now I was avoiding all detentions building up like a pension holding on by the stitching listening to crying an bitchin everybody spazzing an tripping because I got cut from the team started acting mean left alone my dreams no longer felt supreme to the naked eye it seems that I had everything
